Serena Williams suffers ankle injury in Brisbane, take days off
The 30-year-old tennis pro and former No. 1, Serena Williams suffered an ankle injury during the Wednesday match in Brisbane against Serbia's Bojana Jovanovski.
The 13-time Grand Slam winner twisted her left ankle and crashed heavily to the court, and needed several minutes of treatment to recover. She secured her advance to the Australian Open quarterfinals, by winning the match 6-2, 6-4. She left the court without commenting, whilst her officials stated that she was being examined by a doctor.
Later Wednesday, she withdrew from the Brisbane tournament saying that tests "confirmed that I have a left ankle sprain (and) that I probably shouldn't play on." "I'm going to take a couple of days off — not too many — and see how I feel," Williams said in a statement. "I'm still hopeful of playing the Australian Open."
Her scheduled quarterfinal rival, Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia, advances directly to the Brisbane semifinals.
