Venus Williams has withdrawn from next week’s Cincinnati Open, citing left knee pain.

In an announcement on her official Twitter page, Venus noted: “Sorry to my fans in cinci & the tournament, I am unable to play and am striving to get better for Montreal. Going to miss you guys this yr.”

Venus began to feel pain in her knee while practicing over the last week. Venus has not played in a tournament since Wimbledon. The main draw at Cincinnati is scheduled to begin on Monday, and Venus’ medical team recommended that the former world No. 1 and seven-time Grand Slam champion should not play until she is totally pain free.
