British number one Johanna Konta has withdrawn from the Sydney International for the second time.
The 27-year-old was due to play Kiki Bertens as a lucky loser in the first round on Monday, having retired from her second-round qualifying match with a neck injury on Sunday.
No reason has been given yet for the latest withdrawal
The move comes just a week before the first Grand Slam of the season, the Australian Open, gets underway.
