Serena Williams withdraws from 2010 US Open
Friday, August 20, 2010
Top-ranked Serena Williams has officially withdrawn from the 2010 US Open as
she continues to recover from a cut to her right foot.
Williams cut her foot on a piece of broken glass in July, which required
surgery, and has not competed on the WTA Tour since winning her 13th career
Grand Slam tournament title at Wimbledon. She is a three-time US Open
champion.
"It is with much frustration and deep sadness that I am having to pull out of
the US Open," Williams said in a statement released by her publicist. "My
doctors have advised against my playing so that my foot can heal."
She called missing the tournament "one of the most devastating moments of my
career."
US Open Tournament Director Jim Curley released the following statement
regarding Williams' withdrawal:
"We regret that Serena Williams is unable to play the US Open and wish her a
speedy recovery. She will be missed, but the tournament is about the
competition and the players on the court. This year's US Open will be a
memorable event, as it has been every year."
