Tendon injury from Open sidelines Huber


FRANKFURT, Germany -- Germany's Anke Huber has withdrawn from the Olympics because of a tendon injury in her right arm.

The world's No. 10 was injured during the U.S Open and will need to rest her right arm for three weeks. The Olympic tennis tournament begins Sept. 19.

"Anke cannot play in Sydney. Her health takes precedence here," said German team doctor Walter Knapper.

Huber was Germany's best chance for a tennis medal. Following the retirement of Boris Becker and Steffi Graf, German tennis has gone into a steep decline.
