Williams suffered an unfortunate hamstring injury
After competing in just four tournaments in 2022, Williams accepted a wildcard into Auckland to start her 2023 season in the very first week of the season.
In Auckland, Williams made a positive start as she defeated Katie Volynets in her first match of the year. In the Auckland round-of-16, Williams suffered a three-set defeat to Zhu Lin. But the defeat wasn’t the worst thing that happened to Williams that day as she suffered a hamstring injury during the match.
Williams, who was awarded a main draw wildcard into the Australian Open, was forced to pull out of the Australian Open and return the wildcard to Tennis Australia. In early February, Williams said she “knew it was going to be a bad injury.” “I knew that it was going to be a bad injury.
That’s the point when I withdrew from the Australian Open. I had a wildcard and it was so awesome, but it wasn’t for me and I wanted someone else to have that opportunity because I knew I wouldn’t have a chance to play. I knew that it was going to be a bad injury.
