Serena Williams sat out her scheduled World TeamTennis appearance on Friday night with a foot injury. A local newspaper reported that Williams said she cut her foot on a piece of glass a few days ago.
Williams would have taken on Martina Hingis in a meeting between the Washington Kastles and the New York Buzz.
"It’s obviously disappointing, but I’m always a big supporter of TeamTennis...so I’m glad to be here,” she said.
"I wish we had played," said Hingis, who defeated Angela Haynes in her singles match. "On the other hand, I’m a little bit relieved."
