From Vera Zvonareva regarding her withdrawal from the 2012 BNP Paribas Open.

“I’m really sorry to withdraw from the tournament but unfortunately I’m not feeling well enough to compete today. Hopefully I can recover from the illness and play in the next event [Miami] but today I just don’t feel that I can go out there and perform well enough. Indian Wells is one the best tournaments on the WTA, I have great memories here and have won here in the past, so it’s a special place for me and I’m sorry I cannot play. I hope to come back here healthy next year.”
