Serena Williams returns to the Tour at the Generali Ladies Linz
On the same day it became known Serena Williams would lose her number one ranking to Caroline Wozniacki, it was announced that the American would return to the Tour for the first time since July. The tournament Williams is scheduled to play is the Generali Ladies Linz which starts on Monday, October 11.
Serena hasn't been playing competitive tennis because of a foot injury and surgery she had to have as a consequence of stepping on glass at a restaurant. Having been very selective as to which tournaments she would play and also because of the injury, Serena has approached the end of the 2010 season with only six tournament appearances (Sydney, Australian Open, Rome, Madrid, French Open, Wimbledon). However, her winning percentage is awesome: out of the six tournaments she has played so far this year, Serena has won two, and those were none other than Grand Slams.
Now that Serena is returning, Caroline Wozniacki’s top ranking could be short-lived, because Serena has qualified for the prestigious Sony Ericsson Championships in Doha as well. (source: ESPN, photo: © Neal Trousdale)
a coincidence? lol…I bet she did it on purpose to get the attention back on her lol!
What do you think Marija? Did she do it out of spite, or it was simply a coincidence?
Bb, I see it like this: Serena has qualified for Doha and she wouldn't like to skip that. Therefore, she decided to return a bit in advance, in order not to be suspicious.
It doesn't have to be true, I'm just speculating…
She doesnt want Wozzy as N.1 imo. And that they are friends hahaha
Glad to see Serena back on the court.
