Graf To Skip Australian Open

Compiled From Wire Services

Steffi Graf, four-time winner of the Australian Open, will miss next month’s tournament because she still has not recovered from knee surgery.

Her manager, Hans Engert, did not say Monday when the former No. 1 would return to action. But he indicated a tournament in Tokyo on Feb. 2-8 could be Graf’s comeback event. Graf has not played a tournament since knee surgery in May.
