Serena out of Hopman Cup with injury

Posted in Sports

Published on January 07, 2016 with 4 Comments

World No. 1 Serena Williams pulled out of the mixed teams Hopman Cup event due to a knee injury, less than two weeks before the start of the Australian Open.

After pulling out of Monday’s tie against Ukraine with inflammation in her knee, the 34-year-old American hobbled through her match against Australian Jarmila Wolfe the following day before deciding she could not go on. She had refused to rule out returning to the court for the United States’ match against Czech Republic but officially put an end to that on Wednesday.

She will hope that the injury will not scupper her plans for the Australian Open, starting on January 18. “I have some knee inflammation that’s going away very slowly. It’s going, it just needs a little more time,” she had said earlier.
