Williams sisters pull out of Family Circle Cup
28th April 2006
Both Serena and Venus Williams have pulled out of the Family Circle tournament due to injuries.
Venus Williams pulled out with a right elbow sprain and has been sidelined now for two months.
Serena Williams still hasn’t recovered from a knee injury that also sidelined her for much of last season.
“I know Venus and Serena really enjoy playing this event, so I am sure they are as disappointed as we are,” tournament director Robin Reynolds told the press on Friday. “It is unfortunate that their injuries have continued to keep them off the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour, but we look forward to having them back in Charleston next year.”
