Too much tennis for Serena that still has to recover from a long North American Swing.
Ok, that was quite successful as the American has won the tournament in Toronto and the US Open, but she has played 17 high profile matches in a month and that was taxing.
Serena was meant to play this coming week, but she couldn’t make it.
Serena: I need more time to properly recover
“Unfortunately with the number of matches I have played throughout the summer, I need more time to properly recover,”
Serena not very Asian
To be honest, that wasn’t a great surprise as Serena has never been very adamant to play the Asian swing. In fact, she didn’t play in the Far East since the 2009 when she lost in Beijing in the 3rd round to Nadia Petrova.
We still wait for her to play the China Open the 28th of September. Let’s see if she will make it!
