Serena Williams and Ons Jabeur won't play in the semifinals of the 2022 Eastbourne International due to a right knee injury.

It was a great run by the duo to get into the semifinals of the 2022 Eastbourne International. First, Serena Williams and Ons Jabeur defeated Marie Bouzkova and Sara Sorribes Tormo and then they even outplayed doubles specialists Shuko Aoyama and Hao-Ching Chan.

In the semifinals, they were supposed to play against Aleksandra Krunic and Magda Linette but that match won't happen. Ons Jabeur reported that she has a right knee injury and has decided to take her time to recover before the third Grand Slam of the season.

Despite the premature end, the tournament was a great preparation for the 23-time Grand Slam champion. Also Jabeur apparently enjoyed the time next to the American legend and learned a lot as she stated many times during press conferences. Both players will step onto the court again at the 2022 Wimbledon.
