The wrist injury that forced Juan Martin Del Potro out of Kooyong prompted Australian Open officials to make a statement about the Argentine's pending participation in their event.
For Australian Open officials, the outlook remains bright for fourth seed Juan Martin Del Potro to make a start as expected when the first Grand Slam of the season kicks off on Monday.
The Argentine, who beat Roger Federer for the US Open title, withdrew - mainly as a precaution it is thought - from his semifinal at the elite eight-man tune-up event at Kooyong club.
His decision was blamed on a sore wrist.
That move sent Jo-Wilfried Tsonga into the weekend title match against Spain's Fernando Verdasco.
"Del Potro decided to take a couple of days' break," Open boss Craig Tiley told ABC radio. "He obviously wants to start 2010 well."
