Venus Williams will not play Fed Cup this weekend.


Venus Williams has told Fed Cup coach Mary Jo Fernandez that she will be unable to play for the United States this weekend against the Russians, because of a knee injury she aggravated in Miami a couple weeks ago.

Her statement to the USTA read: 
“I am continuing to rehabilitate my knee and regret that I will not be able to participate in the Fed Cup tie against Russia this weekend. I waited until this moment in hopes that I would have an opportunity to play, but I am being advised by my medical support team that I will need more time to recover.”


We all know whats going on here.  The reason she is not playing is two things.  The Fed Cup just doesn't pay enough, and she is planning on playing Davis Cup, because we all know she has a peninsula just south of the equator.
