Overview
- Serena tweaked her right knee during her Wimbledon singles match and had fluid drained, which led to her withdrawing from a planned doubles reunion with Venus.
- Multiple reports attribute to Jon Wertheim that both Serena and Venus are expected to play the North American hard‑court swing, with Toronto (the Canadian Open) singled out as a likely stop.
- Cincinnati is described as a possible follow-up tournament, but any further play will depend on how Serena’s knee responds to treatment and short‑term recovery.
- Both sisters are widely reported to be expected at the U.S. Open, with Serena also linked to a potential mixed‑doubles pairing with Carlos Alcaraz that remains conditional on his wrist recovery and is unconfirmed.
- Coach Rennae Stubbs has said Serena intends to continue playing if physically able, and the sisters’ return would shape ticket interest and draw planning for the summer hard‑court events.
