MIAMI, Fla. – World No. 3 Victoria Azarenka has been forced to withdraw from the Sony Open due to the right ankle injury suffered at Indian Wells last week. Azarenka will be replaced in the draw by lucky loser Lauren Davis of the United States.

“I am very disappointed that I am unable to compete this year in Miami,” said Azarenka. “This is one of my favorite events and the Miami fans are always supportive. I have been working very hard to rehab my ankle this week but unfortunately it is still not fit to play. I look forward to returning next year.”
