Serena Williams Withdraws From Doubles Match With Sister Venus At Wimbledon

LONDON (AP) — Serena Williams has withdrawn from her doubles match with sister Venus at Wimbledon due to a right knee injury. The 44-year-old Serena was injured during her singles return earlier in the week at the end of the first set of a three-set loss. She says on Instagram that “I’m heartbroken to have to withdraw from doubles. Coming back to compete again has been a gift, and the opportunity to play alongside (at)venuswilliams once more meant the world to me. I did everything I could but unfortunately my knee just isn’t ready to compete.” The post included images of four syringes that Serena says “shows the fluid they drained from my knee after my singles match.”
