Serena Williams might not be able to play her next doubles match after her partner Victoria Mboko hurt her knee badly during a singles game. The 19-year-old Canadian player lost her footing past the back line while attempting a shot return against Karolina Pliskova, which necessitated her withdrawal from the contest. Williams and Mboko are scheduled to compete as partners later this week, with their match slated for Thursday night at the Queen's Club venue.
