Serena Williams, why did you withdraw?
My knee is hurting me. I tried it out today at practice, but I couldn't move
correctly. I had no chance of getting around it.

Is it your left knee?
No, this time it's the right one. My left knee always seems to hurt a little,
but his time its the right one. In a way, its reassuring news. I think it
will be okay.

When did you first start feeling the pain?
At the end of the match against Emilie Loit. I did not have enough time to
recuperate.

How did you feel this morning at practice?
My movement was restricted. Usually, if I'm at 80%, I think I can usually
make it against most players, but today, it was far from that.

Were you feeling any pain before the beginning of the tournament?
No, not at all. In fact, I think that I have been playing a lot since the
season began. It's probably a sign that means I should take a few days to
rest.

Now that you have withdrawn, are you going to visit Paris this weekend?
I don't think so. I would really like to, but I have to make sure that I'm
okay before the next tournament, which will start in a few days.
