Serena Retires From Zurich Open
Tuesday, October 16, 2007
Serena Williams retired with a sore right thigh while trailing Patty Schnyder of Switzerland 6-0, 3-0 in the first round of the Zurich Open on Tuesday.
Trailing 3-0 in the first set, Williams had the tape on her right thigh removed. She won only nine points in the set, five on her serve.
The sixth-seeded American was treated again between sets. Winning only one more point, she was broken twice
before retiring.
"I was checking out the situation a bit and after the first set I kind of suspected she might retire," Schnyder said. "But then I got kind of nervous because in the second set she really started trying."
Williams, who has qualified for the season-ending WTA Championships, had asked to play Tuesday despite coming off a three-set loss to Elena Dementieva at the Kremlin Cup in Moscow on Sunday.
"Normally she needs a rest after two weeks of tournaments," Schnyder said. "But I like that she came here and tried."
