Serena Williams has withdrawn from the Family Circle Cup because of the left knee injury. She hasn't played since winning the Australian Open earlier this year, when she beat Justine Henin in the final.
"I was really hoping my knee would heal in time to play the Family Circle Cup, as it's one of my favorite stops on the Tour," said Williams. "Unfortunately my knee has not fully healed in time and I am now looking forward to returning to the WTA Tour in Europe. I wish the tournament, players and fans a great week."
Defending champion Sabine Lisicki also withdrew due to a left ankle injury.
"Unfortunately, I won't be able to defend my title. It's heartbreaking for me to not be able to come back," said Lisicki. "I'm sorry, but I hope to be back next year to get the great support in Charleston and win the nice trophy again."
