NEW YORK (AP) — Serena Williams has pulled out of the U.S. Open because she is still recovering from cutting her foot last month.

The top-ranked Williams has won three titles at Flushing Meadows, part of her 13 Grand Slam singles championships. Last year, she lost in the semifinals after a tirade at a line judge over a foot-fault call.

Williams’ agent and the U.S. Tennis Association confirmed her withdrawal Friday.
