Serena delays her start of the Hopman Cup
Serena is still trying to get her knee in top form before the AO starts…
Serena Williams is still recovering from the knee injury that forced her to pull out of the WTA Tour’s season-ending championships in Madrid in November and will miss the opening match of the Hopman Cup in Perth.
Last year’s Australian Open winner had been scheduled to take on India’s Sania Mirza (SAHN’-yuh MEER’-zah) on Saturday in the first match of the team event, but will be replaced by Meghan Shaughnessy.
Tournament officials say Williams will not arrive in the Western Australia state capital until the weekend, and plans to play for the Americans in Monday’s match against the Czech Republic.
Is anybody expecting a repeat of last year for Serena?
