Madrid World No.8 Venus Williams has pulled out of the Sony Ericsson Championships following medical advice. Williams suffered dizziness during the US Open and has been told by doctors not to play in the Madrid event, which begins on 6 November.
Williams' withdrawal means that Maria Sharapova's qualification is confirmed, while Slovakian Daniela Hantuchova guaranteed herself a place in the field after winning the Linz tournament today.
The eight participants are:
Justine Henin
Jelena Jankovic
Svetlana Kuznetsova
Ana Ivanovic
Serena Williams
Anna Chakvetadze
Daniela Hantuchova
Maria Sharapova
The draw, to decide the two four-women groups, will take place on Saturday 3 November.
