Venus Williams Withdraws From Sony Ericcson Open
Venus Williams Withdraws From Sony Ericcson Open | 
Three-time Sony Ericsson Open champion and 7-time Grand Slam winner, Venus Williams, has withdrawn from the 2011 Sony Ericsson Open.
Williams is forced to withdraw from this year’s tournament due to an abdominal injury she incurred earlier this year at the Australian Open. The tennis star is currently receiving ongoing rehabilitation at home and released the following statement.
“I am very sorry to not be playing in the Sony Ericsson Open this year. It is one of my favorite tournaments on the circuit, especially because it is so close to my home in South FL. I look forward to returning to the tour soon.”
“It is unfortunate that Venus Williams will be unable to play at this year’s Sony Ericsson Open. She will be missed and we wish her a speedy recovery,” said Adam Barrett, Sony Ericsson Open Tournament Director. “We hope to see her back on the courts soon.”
Despite Williams’ withdrawal fans will still be able to see exhilarating matches as the women’s field features power players including defending Sony Ericsson Open champion Kim Clijsters; current World No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki; and three-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova.
The men’s field is also loaded with the likes of World No. 1 Rafael Nadal, defending Sony Ericsson Open champ Andy Roddick, 16-time Grand Slam Champion Roger Federer, reigning Australian Open winner Novak Djokovic, and 2009 Sony Ericsson Open champion Andy Murray ready to battle it out at the Crandon Park Tennis Center.
