Caroline Wozniacki says in an interview with Eurosport at physical problems prevented her from taking part in the Australian Open.
"My body doesn't feel great. When I started training in the pre-season I had problems with my body, of course also due to my rheumatoid arthritis, so it has been a struggle," says Caroline Wozniacki to Eurosport.
On top of the cancellation, there has been speculation that Wozniacki would end her career, but that is not the plan.
"I hope after a short break to be back soon," says Wozniacki.
Her last game was at the US Open in late summer last year where she reached the Round of 16.
The former world No 1 is currently nr. 72 in the world rankings.
