Former world number one Serena Williams has withdrawn from this month's Australian Open in Melbourne.
The 36-year-old American last week played her first match since giving birth in September, the BBC reports.
Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam winner and the reigning Australian Open champion, said: "Although I am super close, I'm not where I want to be."
Britain's Andy Murray and Japan's Kei Nishikori also pulled out of the tournament, which starts on 15 January.
William was eight weeks pregnant with daughter Olympia when she won her seventh Australian Open title in 2017.
The world number 22 said: "My coach and team always said 'only go to tournaments when you are prepared to go all the way'.
"I can compete - but I don't want to just compete, I want to do far better than that and to do so, I will need a little more time."
"The memory of last year's Open is one that I will carry with me, and Olympia and I look forward to coming back again."
