A foot injury will keep Serena Williams from playing her scheduled World Team Tennis matches this week. Williams, who plays for the defending WTT Champion Washington Kastles, cut her foot earlier this week. She was scheduled to play WTT matches for the Kastles at the Pavilion at Villanova University on Tuesday. “I’m very disappointed that I won’t be able to play in the WTT matches this season,” said Williams. “It is always such a fun experience and I love interacting with the fans in the cities that I don’t often have the opportunity to play in during the rest of the year.” Williams will also miss the scheduled celebrity half-time match in which she was to partner with Comcast SportsNet’s Michael Barkann and face Philadelphia Flyers’ Scott Hartnell and WIP’s Howard Eskin. Hartnell will now battle Barkann in a special singles celebrity half-time match. Tickets are on sale now at ComcastTIX.com.
