Ivanovic joins long list of absentees at Stuttgart tennis

Ana Ivanovic joined the long list of injury withdrawals from the Porsche Grand Prix tournament.

The Serb hurt her shoulder in practice Sunday and pulled out of the US$650,000 event starting Monday.

Other players who withdrew earlier included Kim Clijsters, Justine Henin-Hardenne, Maria Sharapova, Lindsay Davenport and Serena and Venus Williams.

Amelie Mauresmo is the top-seeded player, followed by Svetlana Kuznetsova, Elena Dementieva and Nadia Petrova. They all have a bye into the second round.
