SERENA ‘OUT’ SA US OPEN

Serena Williams

HINDI makapaglalaro si twenty-three-time grand slam champion Serena Williams sa final tennis major ng taon — ang US Open dahil sa hamstring injury.

Inanunsiyo ito ni Williams sa social media noong Miyerkoles.

“After careful consideration and following the advice of my doctors and medical team, I have decided to withdraw from the US Open to allow my body to heal completely from a torn hamstring,” isinulat niya sa Instagram.

“New York is one of the most exciting cities in the world and one of my favorite places to play – I’ll miss seeing the fans but will be cheering everyone on from afar. Thank you for your continued support and love. I’ll see you soon.”

Sa nakalipas na tatlong taon, si Williams ay naghahabol sa all-time grand slam singles record na 24 championships na tangan ni Margaret Court.

Bukod kay Williams, hindi rin makapaglalaro sa US Open sina  defending men’s champion Dominic Thiem, Roger Federer at Rafael Nadal dahil din sa injuries.

Ang 2021 US Open ang unang Grand Slam na wala si Williams, Federer, o Nadal sa main singles draw magmula noong 1997 US Open.

Magsisimula ang torneo sa Lunes.
