"My left ankle has been bothering me since the US Open and I need to take a break now to get it back to 100% which is why I have to regretfully make this decision and withdraw from the doubles in Stuttgart and Moscow next week. I have played a lot this year and my body needs to recover. It’s obviously my goal to try and get the No. 1 ranking back and it hurts my chances pulling out of Moscow since I reached the final there last year. My only wish now is that with a week to 10 days of rest I can recover and be at my best for the Sony Ericsson Championships in Doha. I am confident the Moscow tournament will be a very successful one and hope to see my fans back there again next year". - Statement from Official Kremlin Cup websiteNoteworthy: Williams is 43-7 this season and has reached the quarterfinals or better in 10 of 12 events.
