Two-time champion and former world No.1 Victoria Azarenka has withdrawn from the Australian Open .
NEW YORK — Two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka withdrew from the U.S. Open on Monday because she was unable to resolve a custody dispute with her infant son’s father. Azarenka has not played since Wimbledon, and the former No. 1 player is now ranked 204th.
Azarenka, who won the Australian Open in 2012 and 2013, has been involved in a custody dispute involving her son Leo, who was born last December 19.
She hasn't competed anywhere since Wimbledon, where she lost to Simona Halep in the fourth round on July 10.
Azarenka played only six matches in 2017 and her year-ending ranking plummeted to No. 208.
Australian Open organizers last month granted her a wildcard entry, with Tiley saying at the time ''Vika's current situation is obviously very difficult for her and we have reached out to offer any support we can.''
The Australian Open starts next Monday at Melbourne Park. Defending champion Serena Williams has already withdrawn, saying her game wasn't back to a level where she believed she could contend for the title just four months after giving birth to her first child.
