Ailing Serena withdraws, Wozniacki falls in Cincy; Nadal, Murray into third round
The 13-time Grand Slam champ Williams, who is riding a 12-match winning streak, pulled out to rest an aggravated right foot, which she cut on glass and needed two operations to repair last year. She was slated to meet 10th-seeded Sam Stosur in a rematch of their recent championship match clash in Toronto, which was won by the American superstar.

Serena Williams’ impressive tennis comeback after being sidelined for nearly a year due to injuries and illness will momentarily be put on hold after the former world No. 1 withdrew from her second-round draw Wednesday due to a foot problem.
Williams, who moved all the way up to No. 31 after back-to-back titles in Stanford and Toronto, decided to pull out to rest an aggravated right foot, which she cut on glass and needed two operations to repair last year.
The 13-time Grand Slam singles champ Williams, who is riding a 12-match winning streak, was slated to meet 10th-seeded Samantha Stosur in a rematch of their championship match clash this past Sunday in Toronto.
As a result, Stosur received a walkover into Thursday’s third round, where she will face French Open champion Li Na.
Meanwhile, the $2.05 million Western & Southern Open, a U.S. Open Series event also lost top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki Wednesday.
It marked the second straight tournament-opening match dropped by the former U.S. Open runner-up Wozniacki, who was stunned by promising American teenager Christina McHale, 6-4, 7-5.
Other top-10 seeded second-round winners were second-seeded former champion Vera Zvonareva and Francesca Schiavone (7).
Also advancing into the next stage were No. 13th-seeded former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic, who rallied past Chinese qualifier Zheng Jie, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1, and two-time major titlist Svetlana Kuznetsova, who prevailed over Czech Petra Cetkovska, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Former top-10 Russian Nadia Petrova also moved into the third round after ousting 15th-seeded former No. 1 Ana Ivanovic of Serbia 6-3, 7-6 (7-4).
In the men’s draw, second-seeded former No. 1 Rafael Nadal and No. 4th-seeded Andy Murray were among second-round winners Wednesday.
Nadal dismissed French qualifier Julien Benneteau in 6-4, 7-5 fashion, while former champion Murray drilled former top-five star David Nalbandian of Argentina, 6-4, 6-1.
Murray ruled this ATP Masters and U.S. Open Series event back in 2008.
Other Day 3 top-10 seeded winners included David Ferrer (5), Gael Monfils (6) and Mardy Fish (7).
Men’s current world No. 1 Novak Djokovic is slated to see action Wednesday against Ryan Harrison.
