LONDON \u2014 Serena Williams\u2019 doubles campaign at Queen\u2019s Club could be over after one match.<\/p>\n
Victoria Mboko, the American star\u2019s doubles partner, sustained a knee injury in her singles match against Karolina Pliskova.<\/p>\n
Williams and Mboko had won their opening doubles match \u2014 in the 44-year-old Williams\u2019 return to professional tennis nearly after four years away from the sport \u2014 and are scheduled to play again Thursday.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old Canadian slipped behind the baseline and immediately grabbed her left knee while facing Pliskova. Mboko lost the first set 6-2 and was up 4-3 in the second and trying to break with Pliskova serving at deuce.<\/p>\n
Mboko got up on her own but then told a physiotherapist that there was \u201cno stability right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
She walked gingerly to her bench and put a towel to her face as she sat down. Minutes later, she retired from the match.<\/p>\n
Williams previously had announced she also will play doubles at the Berlin Open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LONDON \u2014 Serena Williams\u2019 doubles campaign at Queen\u2019s Club could be over after one match.
