MELBOURNE, Nov 25 (AP): Australian Open officials say reigning champion Serena Williams has withdrawn from the season-opening tennis Grand Slam tournament due to a foot injury.
Williams had surgery after cutting her foot on broken glass at a restaurant following her title win at Wimbledon. She returned to practice in September but twice put off her comeback. She said she had more surgery last month and couldn't risk returning before the injury had properly healed.
