Serena Williams withdrew from the Swedish Open after her 1st round match against Ysaline Bonaventure due to soreness in her elbow. Today Serena took to her Facebook page with a message about her injured elbow.
As much fun as we have been having the past 8 or so weeks I have to take some time to let my elbow heal. I am confident it will be ready for the rest of the summer. I need some time to recover and rehab it, but as of now I am being forced to take the next week off. Love you all

Most important for Serena is resting up for the US Open which begins Labor Day weekend. The rest seems more precautionary measures for Serena than concerning. At the US Open Serena will look to complete the calendar Grand Slam and her 22nd career Grand Slam.
