Agnieszka Radwanska has withdrawn from the WTA clay court tennis tournament in Charleston with a back injury, just a day after capturing the prestigious Miami title with a victory over Maria Sharapova.
A revised draw reflecting the change left fifth-ranked Samantha Stosur, the second seed, as the highest-ranked player in the field of the almost one million dollar event that starts today in Charleston, South Carolina.
According to WTA rules, third-seeded Marion Bartoli of France, who in Miami became the first woman this year to beat world number one Victoria Azarenka, was inserted in the top slot of the draw, with fifth-seeded American Serena Williams being put into the slot originally occupied by Bartoli.
