 With the Australian Open a week away, we have some big names that are not actually playing this Australian Open and also some big names that are in trouble going into this Australian Open because of some injury concerns. Let's go have a look at who actually pulled out officially from the 2024 Australian Open first. Starting on the men's side, only a couple of names have withdrawn so far. Stricker, he's pulled out. Of course Rafa Nadal, the biggest name so far to pull out. Unfortunately, injuring his hip again and needs to go and rest and recover. Alia Polka has also pulled out of this year's Australian Open and the last one being Nick Kirios pulling out. He actually didn't even enter the draw or go into the entry list so that's why he's not even on the list but he also will be missing this year's Australian Open because of injury. On the lady's side, the big one, Mukava pulling out of the Australian Open, unfortunately still injured from the end of last season so she won't be playing. Madison Key's also pulling out of the Australian Open which is a shame. Caviteva, she's also pulled out because she's having a baby so she won't be at the event. And Belinda Benchich also pulling out of the event because she is also having a baby so some big names there that are not going to be playing at this year's Australian Open on the women's side. Having all the players that are coming in with some injury concerns, starting with the big one, Novak Djokovic coming in with a wrist problem that he got in practice for the United Cup will monitor his actions over the next couple of days but he's coming in with that wrist injury. It seems like every year he comes in with some sort of injury at the Australian Open. Potipova also coming in with an injury concern. She had to pull out of her match against Rybakina in Brisbane so keeping on her moves over the next couple of days. Alina Svetolina now she did play the final against Goff in Auckland but she did have some medical timeouts in the semi-final and the final so it might be coming in with some foot problems at this year's Australian Open. And Azlan Karatsev, he had a knee problem in his first match in Brisbane which forced him to retire so another player there that's done well in Australia before. So there you have it, big names that are not playing, big names that have some injury concerns. I guess you could also throw in players like Ozealia Seem and Siddi Pass because both of them haven't really played that much especially FAA. He hasn't played at all at the United Cup and Siddi Pass picked and choose who he was going to play or where he was going to play so maybe those guys could also be on that injury list but massive names who's going to play who's not going to play is more important. Let me know down in the comments below do you think we're going to get those big names I mentioned playing or not especially Djokovic. We're definitely monitoring him over the next couple of days because in Rafa's case we thought he might be okay for playing the Australian Open and then all of a sudden he pulls out and he's not playing so some big names there to watch out for at the Australian Open on the injury list, some big names that aren't going to play.
