Venus Williams has withdrawn from the Australian Open due to an injury she sustained at the ASB Classic in New Zealand, tournament organizers announced via Twitter on Saturday.
The American was awarded a main-draw wild card for what would have been her 22nd appearance at the Australian Open, 25 years after her tournament debut in 1998.
Now ranked outside the top 1000, Williams has won seven grand slams since her professional debut in 1994 and has become the world No. 1 in both singles and doubles.
