Dinara Safina has been forced to pull out of Brisbane International with a back injury. She had originally hoped to be fit for the Brisbane International, starting on January 3.

But Brisbane International tournament director Steve Ayles confirmed on Friday that Safina had simply run out of time to be fit for the January 3-10 tournament.

"Safina was very much looking forward to starting her year in Brisbane and it is a real shame that she will not be fit in time to attend," Ayles said.

"I know she would have been working around the clock to try to be ready for the event, but in the end time has beat her and she is still undergoing treatment."
