Serena Williams, who hasn't played since Australian Open, has asked for and received a wild-card entry for next month's Italian Open, which begins May 3 and is a key clay-court warmup for the French Open.
"Serena Williams will be at the Italian Open from the second to the eighth of May," a statement on the tournament's website stated. "The world number one requested and obtained a wild card."
Nine of the world's top ten women will compete in Rome, with the exception of Sony Ericsson Open winner Kim Clijsters.
