At the Paris Open on Wednesday, Russian Elena Dementieva spoke about Serena's absence.
"It's very disappointing for the tournament because she is a great player."
"We have had some great matches. I always like to play against her. It is a great experience. But you saw her in Australia with all that taping on her leg and she still produced a great win.
"So it is not surprising that she isn't here -- especially as she is always playing to win a tournament and pushing herself."
