This is soooo not something to be thankful for today.
Serena is the 2-time defender and 5-time overall champion in Melbourne.
This foot thing is now in the "this has gone on too long" catagory.
And it begs the question: just how damn serious is this injury?
Love her or hate her - the WTA tour is a better place when she's on it.

Serena: As I recently learned, pushing myself back into my intense training too early only caused me further injury and damage. While I desperately want to be back on the court and competing in the first Grand Slam tournament of the year, it is imperative for my health that I continue to work with my doctors to ensure my foot heals properly.
This decision, though heavy on my heart, is the right one. I am praying for a healthy recovery and I promise my Aussie fans and my fans around the world that I will be back better than ever as soon as I can be.
