Agnieszka Radwanska has withdrawn from the WTA clay court tournament in Charleston with a back injury, just a day after capturing the prestigious Miami title with a victory over Maria Sharapova. “We’re as disappointed as our fans to
lose our top seed, and we wish Agnieszka a quick recovery,” said Bob Moran, Family Circle Cup Tournament Director. A revised draw reflecting the change left fifth-ranked Samantha Stosur, the second seed, as the highest-ranked player in the field of
the $740,000 event that starts on Monday in Charleston, South Carolina. According to WTA rules, third-seeded Marion Bartoli of France, who in Miami became the first woman this year to beat world number one Victoria Azarenka, was inserted in the top slot of the draw, with fifth-seeded American Serena Williams being put into the slot originally occupied by Bartoli.
