"Unfortunately my body has not recovered the way I'd hoped after the Australian Open and I have not been able to adequately prepare for Indian Wells and Miami," Barty said in a statement released by organizers of Indian Wells, which starts on Wednesday in the California desert.
LOS ANGELES: Top-ranked Ashleigh Barty has withdrawn from the prestigious hardcourt tournaments at Indian Wells and Miami, saying she hadn't been able to prepare in the wake of her Australian Open triumph.
Ashleigh Barty has withdrawn from the prestigious hardcourt tournaments at Indian Wells and Miami saying she hadn't been able to prepare in the wake of her Australian Open triumph. "Unfortunately my body has not recovered the way I'd hoped after the Australian Open and I have not been able to adequately prepare for Indian Wells and Miami," Barty said in a statement released by organizers of Indian Wells, which starts on Wednesday in the California desert. "I don't believe I am at the level necessary to win these events and as a result I have decided to withdraw from both tournaments," added Barty, who would have been seeking a third straight title in Miami later in March. In January, Barty became the first Australian to win her home Grand Slam in 44 years. She was 5-1 down in the second set against American Danielle Collins but came storming back to triumph 6-3, 7-6 (7/2).
Tennis legend Serena Williams has called out The New York Times after it published a photo of her sister Venus instead of her.
Tennis great Serena Williams on Wednesday took to Twitter to call out The New York Times after the newspaper erroneously used a photo of her sister Venus in a report on her venture capital firm. "No matter how far we come, we get reminded that it's not enough. This is why I raised $111M for @serenaventures. To support the founders who are overlooked by engrained systems woefully unaware of their biases. Because even I am overlooked. You can do better, @nytimes," tweeted Serena alongside a picture of the report on her venture capital firm that featured a photo of Venus.
'Outnumbered' co-host Emily Compagno and 'MediaBuzz' host Howard Kurtz provide insight into the verdict on 'America Reports.'
In 2017, a 36-year-old Serena Williams beat sister Venus to capture her 23rd Grand Slam title.
Serena Williams is well-known across the world for her world class athleticism and record-breaking tennis career.
