Li withdraws from Berlin, Rome and Roland Garros

Li Na, one of the few players to leave the tour for years and make a successful comeback, was out for months in 2007 because of a rib injury. She triumphantly returned to the tour in January and won Gold Coast. Things were going well for her, and then she injured her knee. She has been out for a while now, and she will have to skip the clay court season, also. Sad news indeed.
