The tennis fans and the Miami Open organization have been unlucky on Saturday as they lost 2 great players on the same day: Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams.
The world no.1 lost to the Taiwanese Su-Wei Hsieh while Serena was not fit to compete.
Why Serena Williams retired from the Miami Open?
The American was already struggling in her opening match when she won in 3 sets against Rebecca Peterson. Unfortunately, she declared in a statement that she was not able to compete anymore at the Miami Open.
Serena Williams’ statement
“I am disappointed to withdraw from the Miami Open due to a left knee injury. I hope to be back next year to play at this one-of-a-kind tournament in front of the incredible fans here in Miami.”
Williams had also to withdraw from the previous tournament in Indian Wells because of a viral illness.
