More woes for Serena
CINCINNATI. — Top seed Serena Williams gave up a wild card entry into the ATP-WTA Cincinnati Masters tennis tournament after complaining of a shoulder injury.
The world number one, who is being chased in the rankings by German Angelique Kerber, took a free entry only last week and was seeded atop the draw. But the 34-year-old American reversed course abruptly and withdrew from the tournament on Monday.
“I’m very disappointed I’m not able to compete as I was really looking forward to defending my title,” Williams said.
“My shoulder inflammation continues to be a challenge, but I am anxious to return to the court as soon as possible.” — AFP.
