Serena Williams has withdrawn from the doubles match at Wimbledon, where she was set to partner with her sister Venus. The 44-year-old tennis legend cited a right knee injury as the reason for her withdrawal.
Injury Announcement After Singles Loss
The announcement came shortly after Williams lost her singles match in three sets. She expressed deep disappointment at being unable to compete in the doubles event but assured fans she would return once fully recovered.
“I am very sad that I cannot play, but I will come back when I am healed,” Williams said, according to reports.
Uncertainty Over US Open Participation
When asked about her potential participation in the upcoming US Open, Williams did not provide a definitive answer. She stated that it remains uncertain whether she will be able to compete in the tournament scheduled for later this year.
The injury adds to the challenges Williams has faced in recent tournaments, as she continues to manage her fitness at an advanced stage of her career.
