French Open finalist, Samantha Stosur is reported to have decided against participating in the Delhi Commonwealth Games, as she wants to concentrate on the end of the WTA Tournaments.

It is reported that the Games will include five events, including women's singles, men's singles, women's doubles, men's doubles and mixed doubles. All the events are slated to be held from October 4 and will go up to October 10.
