 Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name's Cam Williams, and we have a massive out for the US Open that's happening next week, Serena Williams. She is out of the US Open. This is the statement that she brought out on Instagram only an hour ago. So this is her statement over on Instagram. She writes, After careful consideration and following the advice of my doctors and medical team, I have decided to withdraw from the US Open to allow my body to heal completely from a torn hamstring. New York is one of the most exciting cities in the world and one of my favorite places to play. I'm missing the fans, but we'll be cheering everyone on from afar. Thank you for your continued support and love. I'll see you soon. So Serena, she's out. She hasn't played for a long time. We haven't seen her since pulling out of Wimbledon in the first round. Remember she got injured there from the slippery courts over at Wimbledon. She hasn't played much this year at all and she was the defending semifinalist of last year and will lose a lot of points. She's already dropped down to number 22 in the world of the rankings. So she's going to drop a lot further than that. And who knows when we're going to see her? Just like Federer and Nadal, those guys are only getting older. Serena also only getting older and she's getting injuries a little bit more frequently in these days. Let me know down in the comments below. Can she come back from another injury worry and can she win another slam? I know that's a big question that gets asked a lot. Can she win one more slam to equal the record of Margaret Court? So Serena Williams adds to the former champion list that are not playing at the US Open this year.
