Brady joins Wimbledon finalist Karolina Pliskova, who pulled out with a right arm injury, in missing Melbourne.
The 2022 Australian Open starts on January 17th at Melbourne Park.
Serving a 14-day hard quarantine in Melbourne prior to the 2021 AO, Brady couldn't even open her hotel-room window for fresh air.
Still, she showed toughness withstanding that experience and playing through to reach her first major final in Melbourne falling to Naomi Osaka 6-4, 6-3.
