Serena Williams withdraws from Australian Open 2011
When Serena Williams
withdrew from the Hopman Cup
it was hinted that she could also
skip the 2011 Australian Open,
but now it is official that Serena
will not be defending her title at
the Grand Slam in Melbourne.
The reason is again her foot
injury, which has been standing
behind her withdrawals from
tournaments ever since she won
Wimbledon in the middle of the
past season.
Here’s part of Serena’s
statement:
''As I recently learned, pushing
myself back into my intense
training too early only caused
me further injury and damage.
While I desperately want to be
back on the court and
competing in the first Grand
Slam tournament of the year, it
is imperative for my health that I
continue to work with my
doctors to ensure my foot heals
properly. This decision, though
heavy on my heart, is the right
one. I am praying for a healthy
recovery and I promise my
Aussie fans and my fans around
the world that I will be back
better than ever as soon as I can
be.''
As you can see, the actual
moment Serena will finally come
back to competitive tennis is still
absolutely unknown. (source:
