UNITED STATES – American professional tennis player and former world No. 1 in women’s singles tennis, Serena Jameka Williams, has said that she may have not been able to play in the Australian Open due to injuries sustained at the US Open in September.
In a statement, Williams said she “needed the extra time” to fully recover from an Achilles injury sustained at the US Open in September.”
“I don’t think I would have been here if it was during the regular season.”
“Achilles are like the worst thing, honestly. Oh my goodness, I didn’t realise it would be this long.
“I definitely was pushing the limits, but I’m here.”
The fifth seed will play Bulgaria’s Tsvetana Pironkova in the last 16.
