Serena set for early return
13/07/2006 - 08:58:40Serena Williams will be returning to the court a little earlier than expected.
Williams, who has not played since January’s Australian Open because of a left knee injury, will play at next week’s Western and Southern Financial Group Women’s Open in Cincinnati, the WTA Tour have announced.
The 24-year-old American had revealed in May she would not play again “until the end of the summer”.
A seven-time Grand Slam champion, the oft-injured Williams began the year ranked 11th in the world but subsequently has slipped to 140th.
