A back injury forced top-seeded Sabine Lisicki to retire from her quarterfinal match at the ASB Bank Classic, compromising her preparation for the Australian Open.
The 15th-ranked Lisicki was trailing unseeded German compatriot Angelique Kerber 6-4, 4-3 in a quarterfinal on Thursday when she made the decision to withdraw. The 22-year-old looked uncomfortable throughout the match and left the court after the first set to receive treatment.
