Pro-Tennis - Ivanovic to sit 1-2 weeks for thigh injury

April 13, 2010 06:34 PM
 

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) -- Ana Ivanovic will rest for one to two weeks to recover from the left thigh injury that forced her to quit her fourth-round Wimbledon match against Venus Williams.

A posting on the 2008 French Open champion's Web site Tuesday says, "Although highly painful, the injury is not serious."

Ivanovic's next planned tournament is Aug. 3-9 in Los Angeles.

The former No. 1-ranked player lost the first set of her match against Williams on Monday, then won the opening game of the second set before stopping.

Her Web site says she has a "micro-tear in her left thigh muscle."
