Injury ends Zheng's hopes of repeating Australian Open success

Chinese tennis star Zheng Jie will miss January's Australian Open due
to a persistent wrist injury.

The 27-year-old has not played since she reached the second round of
the U.S. Open in September due to the problem.

"It's a hard decision for me to make," she wrote on social networking
website Twitter. "But I believe there will be more Australian Opens
for me to attend if I can regain my health."

The injury means the world number 26 will not be able to improve on
her impressive showing at the 2010 event, when she was beaten in the
semifinals by Belgium's eventual runner-up Justine Henin.

The tournament has happy memories for Zheng, who won one of her two
grand slam doubles titles there in 2006.

Is Nadal's battered body his biggest threat?

In 2008, Zheng became the first Chinese player to reach the semifinals
of a grand slam tournament, losing to Serena Williams in the last four
at Wimbledon.

The following year she became the first woman from her country to be
ranked in the world's top-15.

She has since been overtaken by compatriot Li Na, who ended the 2010
season ranked 11th after also reaching the semifinals in Melbourne
last January -- the first time two Chinese players had done so in the
same grand slam -- and later winning her only final on grass in
England.

The Australian Open is the first major event of the tennis season, and
the outdoor hardcourt tournament begins on January 17 at Melbourne
Park.
