If serena play this game. she fake her injury

Ultimately the right decision. No event is worth putting obscure fitness in even more jeopardy.

Praying and hoping Serena is alright and will be able to compete here.

I doubt this match will happen

SERENA better call this off and rest for the US open!

I don't think so, I might be wrong

Retired injured just 2 days back and shez playing again.... Should ve taken rest for USO...

Serena needed time off to rest her body, as she is not used to playing back-to-back matches, at least not for a while. I’m sure she’s simply trying to get back into the rhythm of things, although she is pushing it a bit. It appears that getting back in top shape has been somewhat of a stubborn challenge.

Bianca is smart rest her body for the big prize

@ dawson

Serena said her back spasms started in the semi finals in toronto.

She said she could barely sleep the night before the final.

...and she then retired 1-3 in the first set in the final



This happened only 2 days ago.



Diyas has been playing well and can push Serena long enough to cause an injury flare up.

Given the Us open is just around the corner, serena wont take any chances if she gets pain.



Its even a surprise to me she will actually play!



Maybe you should put some money on serena to win cincinatti dawson? You can get a ridiculous price.... because most punters have the same concerns that i do.

As long as Serena plays she will win . Only hance Diaz will win is if Serena pulls out half way through

Hope the GOAT is fit

If her back issues were still plaguing her, she wouldn't play. But she has said it can be a 1-2 day thing, so it's likely she's fine for tonight. She really needs the matches more than anything in order to be ready for the US Open.

Yeah she withdrew, take out your bets while you can!!

@dawson.

Given Serenas injury and upcoming us open, i predicted and upset on the cards here. . I like to priedict matches in the comments section. Whats wrong with that?

Why give me smartass comments?



And look what happemed anyway, serena withdrew. What a surprise.



Im glad you dont bet....because you have no idea.

Yup !

Do you have to play here to qualify for the us open ?

Nope!

Diyas beat Pavlyuchenkova and Pegula in qualiifying ....and comes up against williams will injury concerns.

An upset is on the cards here

There’s an upset on the cards every time Serena plays, huh Loris? ?

Serena should rest like Bianca is

Us open more important

So Far She Playing Tonight ?

Whatever you say Loris, whatever you say

I think Serena will lose. Diaz is talent and dangerous pusher

She's out.

She is not goat yet she has not beat the record

Bianca and halep the ones that can beat her now

Is it to late to take me bet back

She is the GOAT of the Open Era. Enough said.
