Ivanovic had been experiencing wrist problems, and she also broke her toe at the 2015 Australian Open.

"Due to my recurring wrist injury, I have been advised by my doctor to take some time off," she announced on Twitter. "…I have also been delaying surgery on my toe … This is something that I will need to take care of in the upcoming weeks.

"…I had to make this difficult decision so that I can fully recover and play injury-free next year."

Ivanovic ended her season with five consecutive losses.
