 Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name's Cam Williams and world number one Ash Bhatti has pulled out of both Indian Wells and Miami That is coming up in the next couple of weeks. Of course Bhatti is the defending champion of Miami So it's gonna be interesting to see how many points she actually loses Let's go over read the statement that she bought out of the reasons why she's not playing these events This is what Bhatti had to say in a statement. Unfortunately, my body has not recovered the way I'd hoped after the Australian Open and I have not been able to adequately prepare for Indian Wells and Miami I don't believe I am at the level necessary to win these events and as a result I have decided to withdraw from both tournaments I love these events and I am sad not to be there competing but getting my body right must be my focus My aim is to represent my country at the upcoming Billy Jean King Cup event in April after missing the BJK cup last year I can't wait to wear the green and gold again. So you have it Ash Bhatti out of Indian Wells and Miami We're not going to see her until April and we're not going to see her back on tour until the clay court season In April where she has a fair bit of points to defend not too many points at the French Open But a lot of points at the lead in tournaments Madrid Stuttgart those big events She's a lot of points to defend there and it's going to be sad not to see her at Indian Wells and Miami defending champion of Miami And I think she would have played very well at Indian Wells because it's a slower hard court She doesn't mind playing on the slower courts as we saw at the French Open a few years ago Let me know down in the comments below Who are the favorites for these events now because I think no doubt about it Ash Bhatti is the best player in the world You take her out of it. Who's the favorite now? Who is the favorite at these two events that are happening in March in the next couple of weeks?
