Injured Serena to sit on sidelines till U.S Open
World number one Serena Williams will not be able to play till US Open after suffering a foot injury caused by stepping on broken glass at a restaurant.

World number one Serena Williams will be forced to sit on the sidelines for atleast four weeks because of injury she picked up at a restaurant after she stepped on broken glass.  

Williams need surgery on her right foot and will skip Istanbul, Cincinnati and Montreal.

"I'm so upset I won't be able to play in the upcoming events because of this foot surgery," Williams left a message on WTA website.

"Thank you for all of your support. I can't wait to get back on the courts."

The US Open, which Williams won in 1999, 2002 and 2008, gets under way on August 30 in New York, just a week after the Montreal event finishes.

Bit unfortunate, but it would give enough time to Serena to recuperate before the final Grand Slam of this year.
