Serena Williams Won’t Be In Action In Australian Open

The leg injury of Serena Williams causes her to stop participating in the upcoming Australian Open. Williams got injured during the first round of the Wimbledon and is currently under medical supervision. She is quite hopeful to come back to the tennis courts after attaining the fitness certificate from her medical team.

“Following the advice of my team, I have decided to withdraw from this year’s Australian open”, she said. She further even added, ” While this is never an easy decision to make, I am not where I need to be physical to compete.” She is not the only player to withdraw from this grand slam, Roger Federer is also not participating because of his knee surgery. She also shared that Melbourne is one of the cities that she likes to visit there and to play in the Australian Open.

The former number one player and seven-time Australian open winner reached the fourth round of Roland Garros, but she eventually suffered an injury in the first round of Wimbledon. Williams’s last title came at Auckland in 2020 and is currently ranked World No.41.Even former US Open champion is also not in the race of Australian open.

Bianca Andreescu disclosed through Twitter that she will not be seen in the upcoming Australian Open because of issues in her personal life. That completely messes with her mental and emotional health.

It is very heartbreaking to acknowledge that this edition of the Australian open will miss out on Serena Williams and Roger Federer, but the excitement will not be less as Novak Djokovic and many more players participate in the Australian Open. It was expected by her fans to win her 24th grand slam and she is only outnumbered by Margaret Court, as she had 24 grand slams in her pocket.

It is now in the hands of time to reflect the hard work and patience of these players on the tennis court.
