Serena Williams needs a break!
Losing to Roberta Vinci in the US Open semifinal was absolutely devastating for Serena that eventually decided to withdraw for the rest of the season. Serena had an incredible shot at winning a historic Grand Slam, but she missed it just on the finish line.
Out from Beijing and Singapore
Eventually Serena decided to retire from the China Open and the season’s finale in Singapore saying “It’s no secret I’ve played injured most of the year – whether it was my elbow, my knee, or, in the final moments after a certain match in Flushing, my heart,” Williams said in quotes reported on the China Open website.
I’m a fierce competitor. And I want to compete as well as I can, for as long as I can. So I am taking a proactive step and withdrawing from tournaments in Beijing and Singapore to properly address my health and take the time to heal. This is a very difficult decision, but one ultimately made because of the love of the game.
I plan to return to practicing and participating in exhibition matches later this year. And when I do, l will focus and focus and focus so I can continue my journey in this beautiful game.”
Serena has lost 6 matches (3 retirements) in 2015. That was still no bad…
SHE WILL STAND UP AGAIN |
