At the Family Circle Cup in Charleston, SC Serena Williams withdrew from her second round match against trailing 3-5 with an injured groin muscle.

Venus Williams won her second round match in 49 minutes by defeating Vasilisa Bardina 6-2, 6-1. The two sisters would have clashed in the third round if they had both advanced. Instead, Venus will now play China's Chan Yung-Jan.
