Australian Open
Sharapova fully fit for challenge
MELBOURNE, Jan 13
Multiple grand slam champion
Maria Sharapova has declared
herself fully fit and ready for
next week's Australian Open
after having her preparations
hampered by a forearm injury.
The Russian world
number five was forced to
withdraw from the Brisbane
International last week with
the ailment, sparking fears
she might miss the first grand
slam of the year which begins
on Monday.
The 2008 Australian Open
champion and last year's runner-
up opted to arrive in
Melbourne early to practice
rather than seek matches at
one of the other warm-up
tournaments taking place
across the country this week.
"The injury was a bit of a
roadblock but the great thing
is that I've been healthy the
three days and everyone's
been away playing so I've had
a lot of court time which has
been really beneficial,"
Sharapova was quoted as saying
by Australian Associated
Press on Wednesday.
The 28-year-old, who
missed the U.S Open last
year because of a leg injury,
was among a quartet of top
players who were a doubt for
Melbourne because of nagging
ailments.
World number
one Serena Williams (knee),
Simona Halep (Achilles) and
Garbine Muguruza (foot) all
pulled out of matches last
week but Sharapova said it
was understandable for players
to be wary ahead of a
major.
"I think everyone sees the
bigger picture and that's one
of the things that I thought
about � you want to do what
you can to be healthy and be
a part of the grand slam so
sometimes that's a decision
you have to make." Agencies

ZURICH, Jan 13 :

dismissed as secretary
general of soccer's
scandal-scarred governing
body.
FIFA says its emergency
committee fired
Valcke with immediate
effect and terminated his
contract.
FIFA says Valcke "is
therefore no longer the
secretary general of
FIFA."
Valcke, who had
served as FIFA president
Sepp Blatter's top aide,
was provisionally suspended
by FIFA on
September 17.
Last week, FIFA ethics
judges formally
opened a case against
Valcke, who had faced a
nine-year ban from soccer.
FIFA says Markus
Kattner will continue to
serve as acting secretary
general.
Valcke was charged
with several violations of
the FIFA code of ethics
while serving as Blatter's
right hand man since
2007.The charges include
accepting gifts and conflicts
of interest.
