Serena in doubt for US Open

The Women’s Tennis Association Tour says Serena Williams is in doubt for the US Open, because of her recent foot injury.



Williams cut her right foot on broken glass at a restaurant, shortly after winning Wimbledon. The tour said last week she needed surgery and would miss three tournaments leading up to the Open.



Tour spokesman Andrew Walker says Williams is questionable for the final Grand Slam of the year.



Williams' return to the Open has been widely anticipated, because of her tumultuous semifinal loss there last year, when she threw a tirade at a line judge at the end of a match against Kim Clijsters and was fined a record US$82,500.
