Ana Ivanovic of Serbia is out of the 2008 Beijing Olympics even before hitting the court. Ivanovic is reported to have a pain at the joint between the thumb and forefinger of her right hand. She says that the pain was felt first when she practiced after Wimbledon and that it has gone worst ever since. Her participation in the Olympics was in doubt after a third round exit at the Rogers Cup in Montreal due to the pain. The current world no. 2 released the following statement from her blog:
This is the most disappointing moment in my career.
A whole team of doctors have been helping me over the last 15 days or so but the improvement came too late. Yesterday I was able to hold my racket properly for the first time but I still have a lot of pain in my thumb. There's no way I can hit the ball.
