1 January 2014, by AAP

Australian Ashleigh Barty has withdrawn from the 2014 Hobart International due to injury.

Barty, who was awarded a wildcard to compete in Hobart, has a left adductor muscle tear.

“It’s a tough decision but a smart one that we have to make,” Barty said.

“It’s pretty much just I need give myself, my body, 10 to 12 days to recover and hopefully be right for the Australian Open.”
