Just about an hour after she had lost to Samantha Stosur in the final of the Carlsbad Open, Victoria Azarenka pulled out of the Rogers Cup in Toronto with a lower back injury.

 

Azarenka was playing her first tournament in Carlsbad since Wimbledon and said she wasn’t 100 percent. At Wimbledon, she was forced to pull out of her second round match due to knee and hip injuries.

 

“I’m so disappointed that I can’t make it to Toronto as I added it to my schedule knowing what an important event it is,” said, who is entered in next week’s tournament in Cincinnati.

 

Caroline Wozniacki will move to Azarenka’s spot in the draw. Wozniacki will now receive a first-round bye and a lucky loser will take her spot in the draw.
