Serena Williams, the defending champion, has withdrawn from the Family Circle Cup due to a left leg injury but still plans to attend some tournament events.
"I am unable to compete this year at the Family Circle Cup as I need to give my leg injury time to heal," Serena said. "I will still be coming to Charleston next week to support the tournament but hope to be back on its clay courts next year."
Serena hurt her leg at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, where she lost to Victoria Azarenka.
Victoria Azarenka also withdrew from the Family Circle Cup on Tuesday because of an injured right shoulder.
The Family Circle Cup begins on Saturday.
