Venus Williams Not Quite Ready For 2012 - Withdraws From Australian Open
Monday, January 9, 2012
As per her official website, American Venus Williams made this statement:
"I regret to announce that I am withdrawing from the 2012 Australian Open. After several months of training and treatment, I am making steady progress to top competitive form. My diet and fitness regimen have allowed me to make great strides in terms of my health and I am very close to being ready to return to WTA competition. I have every intention to return to the circuit in February."
In August of 2011 Venus disclosed that she had been diagnosed with Sjögren’s Syndrome, a chronic autoimmune disease in which people’s white blood cells attack their moisture-producing glands causing low energy levels and joint pain among other symptoms.
Sounds like she's controlling the disease and not letting it control her - true champion style.
