WTA Grants Waivers to Wozniacki and Azarenka
©”DAILY TENNIS NEWS WIRE”©
The WTA has granted a one-time waiver to Caroline Wozniacki and Victoria Azarenka to play in the World Tennis Charity Invitational in Thailand on Sunday, January 1, 2012. Normally, players are not allowed to compete in exhibitions during tournament weeks where there’s a Premier level event occurring like the one in Brisbane, which runs Jan. 1-8.
However, WTA spokesman Andrew Walker told Daily Tennis News that because that “100% of the proceeds will be donated to support victims of the terrible flooding in Thailand, along with the fact that the exhibition will use non-traditional scoring” the waiver was granted. Thai legend Paradorn Srichaphan and No.18 John Isner will also play the exhibition.
Azarenka is not scheduled to play a tournament that week, while Wozniacki is going to play another exhibition, the Hopman Cup, in Perth, that week. She is not scheduled to play until Monday evening. All the WTA players who choose to play the Hopman Cup will be fined, but sources have told DTN that the tournament itself will play the fines itself.
