He pulled out Of course Roger Federer has pulled out with that knee injury, Stan Bavrinco He's still recovering from surgery he got last year, Rayonich also pulled out Team has pulled out, Sangren, Nishikori and Brooksby has been the latest player to pull out So some big names there, some Grand Samp champions and also former champions of the Australian Open Let's go over look at the women's side now and still massive names on this side as well Especially players that have played well in Australia in the past starting with Bianca Andrescu.
