Serena Williams quits the Family Circle Cup

Serena's injury forced her to pull out of her second-round match with Taiwan's Chan Yung-Jan. At the moment she gave up, she was leading 5-3.

"I've been playing a lot on the clay. I was just sliding a lot and I think I just slid too far," Serena said after the match.

Now it's certain that we won't have the pleasure of watching a clash between the Williams sisters in Charleston, even though it was likely that they would meet in the third round. Their last encounter was at the 2005 US Open.

After losing to Serena Williams in Miami final, Henin announced that she won't play in Charleston (which starts on April 9). She wants to go home and rest in order to prepare for the clay-season. She needs some treatment to fight her respiratory problems. Warsaw (April 30) will be her next tournament.
