Former semifinalist Vandeweghe to miss Australian Open

Published Jan 08, 2019

CoCo Vandeweghe has been forced to postpone the start of her 2019 season and will miss the Australian Open with a foot injury.

It's disappointing news especially given that Melbourne is where the 27-year-old reached her first Grand Slam semifinal in 2017. That run catapulted a career-best season that saw her reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals and US Open semifinals before achieving a career-high ranking of No. 10. She also led the United States to the Fed Cup title.

The 2018 season didn't go as well—at least on the singles court. She has dropped down to No. 100 after reaching just one final in Stuttgart back in April.

But on the doubles court, Vandeweghe thrived in winning the Miami Open and her first Grand Slam, at the US Open (both with Ashleigh Barty). The pair ended their great year with a semifinal finish in Singapore.
