Serena Williams wins but injures ankle at US Open

Serena Williams won at the US Open on Sunday but at what cost? In a season filled with injuries, Williams sustained another one when she rolled her ankle in defeating Petra Martic to reach the quarterfinals.

Williams rolled her left ankle holding a match point against Karolina Pliskova at the Australian Open in January and ended up relinquishing a 5-1 advantage in the third set of their quarterfinal. Then came illness in Indian Wells in March, a troublesome -- and lingering -- knee injury and back spasms in Toronto last month that forced her to retire in the final against one of 2019's breakout tennis stars, Bianca Andreescu.

Williams didn't win another point on serve -- losing 10 in a row -- after her injury against Pliskova in Melbourne and duly struck a double fault into the net on her first point on serve following Sunday's tweak. Yet there would no repeat of the outcome, with Williams holding for 4-2 and never letting the lead slip. She raised her arms in celebration after the win: Williams not only overcame Martic but the ankle injury.
