Oct 3 – The current world number one, Serena Williams, withdrew from the Kremlin Cup Friday with complaints of leg pain. The pain was said to be caused by a strain in her left ankle during the U.S. Open. Serena wants to relax so she can go back to feeling 100 percent.

Serena quotes: “I have played a lot this year and my body needs to recover. My goal is to try and get the number one ranking back.” Williams will give up the number one spot to Serbia’s Jelena Jankovic when the new rankings are released Monday, October 6.

Last year, Williams reached the final in Moscow and lost to the Russian Elena Dementieva.

The women’s competition is the strongest in the 19-year history of the $2.3 million tournament, which starts in Moscow on Monday October 6, with eight of the world’s top 10 players taking part. Only Serena Williams and world number six Maria Sharapova, who is still nursing shoulder injury, are absent.

In men’s tennis news, finalist of the Australian Open, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, also withdrew after reports of having an abdominal injury.

For all you tennis fanatics out there (myself included), the wait between the Championships at Wimbledon and the US Open feels like a lifetime. Like it wasn’t enough to finish the Wimbledon Championships with possibly the best match ever between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, we have to wait at least a month and a half to two months to see them in action again. I know for me, this time goes by extremely slow and I do whatever I can to be prepared. Of all things, this includes trying to find the best tickets to see them, if possible. Tennis is becoming a highly entertaining sport, and I’ve noticed a lot more people watching matches and caring about the winners. Everybody has a favorite. So if you, like myself, want to watch awesome tennis matches, go to www.tennisticketnews.com for great prices and seats for the US Open and other matches.
