Hewitt and Clijsters Share Injuries

Hewitt is also out due to injury, and will apaprently not be playing in the Davis Cup match vs. Switzerland in mid-February.

The BBC reports:


Hewitt has an ankle injury incurred during his second-round loss at the Australian Open and he has pulled out of Australia's team for the Feb. 10-12 matches on indoor clay at Geneva, Switzerland.

"Despite rest and rehabilitation over the past week, Lleyton's ankle has not sufficiently recovered for him to be able to take the court in preparation for the tie," said Hewitt's manager, Rob Aivatoglou. "Doctors have advised Lleyton that he risks further damaging the joint should he attempt to play in the short term."


This is good news, since the Swiss definitely don't have time to get a new surface for the courts there.
