Tennis star Serena Williams’ return after giving birth to her daughter Alexis was brief (I thought so anyway) and now that she’s decided not to participate in The French Open, maybe it was too soon. Is it finally time for Serena to retire from tennis? Is there more that she has to prove to the sport?
The Huffington Post is reporting:
Serena Williams withdrew from the French Open Monday with a pectoral injury, shortly before she was to play her round-of-16 match against Maria Sharapova.
“I, unfortunately [have] been having some issues with my pec muscle,” she said at a press conference. “ … Right now I can’t actually serve, so it’s kinda hard to play when I can’t physically serve.” She said the issue emerged in her previous singles match and she would have an MRI on Tuesday in Paris.
The match against Sharapova had extra intrigue because the two players had not faced each other since Sharapova served a 15-month doping ban.
