Serena Williams might miss the rest of the 2010 season because her injured right foot hasn't healed properly.
"I am likely out for the year Williams said yesterday in a posting on her official website.
Williams said she "re-strained" her foot by overtraining.
"In order not to make this worse, I have to chill on my physical workouts but I will immediately begin rehabbing as soon as I get the Doc's OK. Keep me in your prayers (I need them)," the posting said.
Williams' agent, Jill Smoller, confirmed the posting was from the 13-time Grand Slam champion and said she will be re-evaluated in the coming days.
If Williams is sidelined for the remainder of the season, it would be a blow to the WTA Championships later this month, as well as for the United States when it plays Italy in the Fed Cup final next month in San Diego.
Last week, Williams' older sister Venus said she will miss the rest of the 2010 season because of an injured left knee. Both Williams siblings had said in August they would make themselves available for the U S Fed Cup team in the final.
