No Women's Singles Match at Hopman Cup Final

Injured Serbian star Jelena Jankovic pulled out of her singles clash with Serena Williams in the Hopman Cup final tonight. The world No.3 strained a muscle in her buttock two days ago, forcing her to default in two singles matches during the mixed teams event. But she and Djokovic made it to the finals after winning two crucial mixed doubles matches. Tournament doctor Hamish Osborne said Jankovic would not be capable of playing two matches tonight and would be better off playing the less strenuous doubles clash. Serena gets the win. USA leads 1-0.
