Serena Williams Withdraws from Wimbledon Doubles with Venus After Knee Injury

Tennis star Serena Williams has withdrawn from her women’s doubles match with sister Venus at Wimbledon after sustaining a right knee injury during her singles return. “I’m heartbroken to have to withdraw from doubles,” Serena wrote on social media. She shared images of the medical treatment, including fluid drained from her knee, and a video walking with extensive strapping and support from her daughter. Despite this setback, Serena hinted that she hopes to return for the upcoming hardcourt season in the United States. “All I can say is stay tuned to a city near you.” The opening-round doubles match against Camila Osorio and Solana Sierra was delayed to give Serena extra recovery time. Venus had already competed in mixed doubles before her sister’s withdrawal.
