Serena pulls out of Wuhan Open
Print Edition
TOP seed Serena Williams had to be helped from the court as she retired ill during her first set at the inaugural Wuhan Open yesterday.
The world No. 1 had her temperature and blood pressure checked before retiring while 6-5 up against France’s Alize Cornet, after just over an hour on court. It brought an abrupt end to Williams’ first match since she won her 18th grand slam title at the US Open in New York two weeks ago.
The incident is another blow for the organizers after local hero Li Na quit tennis on the eve of the tournament.
“I’m sorry to all the fans in Wuhan that I had to retire from my match against Alize today,” she said later.
“I felt dizzy and nauseous in the first set and unfortunately couldn’t continue. The tournament organizers have done an amazing job preparing the facilities and I really hope to come back to the Wuhan Open in 2015.”
