Serena Williams pulls out of Bangalore Open
Bangalore, Feb 10: The Bangalore Open women's tennis event lost its sheen
today with star attraction Serena Williams pulling out in the last minute due
to sickness.
The late withdrawal of the eight-time Grand Slam champion came when the
American failed to board the flight back home last night after developing a
"bad flu".
The news came as a bolt from the blue for the organisers of the USD 175,000
WTA Tour event.
"It is very disappointing. She felt very sick because of a bad flu. We came
to know that she did not take the flight only at 3 am this morning," a WTA
Tour spokeswoman said.
The photographers and the TV crew who had gone to the airport here at 4.45
am, when Williams was scheduled to arrive, returned a disappointed lot.
It would have been Williams' first ever visit to India.
"I am very excited about the tournament. Indian tennis seems to be all about
Sania Mirza, I want to see all that," she had said last week.
Mirza, the home favourite, is currently playing in Pattaya, Thailand, where
she is into semifinals of a USD 170,00 Tour event.
Williams' place in the main draw was awarded Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia
who was entered in the qualifiers that began today.
The start of the main draw action on Monday coincides with the 'Karnataka
Bandh', called to protest against the recent verdict in the Cauvery issue.
For the Bangalore Open, it will be 'Serena Bandh'.
