Serena Williams Withdraws From Australian Open.



The seven-time Australian Open champion recently announced she wouldn’t attempt to defend the title she won here last year, saying she wasn’t convinced she could win it.

"After competing in Abu Dhabi I realized that although I am super close, I’m not where I personally want to be,” Williams said in a statement Friday. “My coach and team always said ‘Only go to tournaments when you are prepared to go all the way.’ I can compete - but I don’t want to just compete, I want to do far better than that and to do so, I will need a little more time".

“With that being said, and even though I am disappointed about it, I’ve decided not to compete in the Australian Open this year.”

SerenaWilliams was pregnant when she won at Melbourne Park last year, her Open-era record 23rd Grand Slam singles title. She gave birth to her daughter, Alexis Olympia, in September.


As for the Australian Open ... she says she looks forward to coming back and competing another time.
