Williams sisters, Davenport withdraw from San Diego WTA SAN DIEGO, United States (AFP) - Americans Venus and Serena Williams and Lindsay Davenport have withdrawn from the WTA tournament that starts here on Monday, organizers said. ADVERTISEMENT Venus Williams pulled out citing a sore right wrist. Younger sister Serena said doctors had advised her not to play too much. At Cincinnati last week, Serena Williams reached the semi-finals in her return to competition after a six-month absence, during which she was nursing a knee injury that saw her plummet out of the top 100. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Davenport, Williams sisters out of San Diego SAN DIEGO (Reuters) -- Lindsay Davenport and Venus and Serena Williams have withdrawn from next week's Acura Classic in San Diego, the WTA Tour announced on Friday. Venus Williams, a three-times champion at the event, has withdrawn due to pain in her left wrist. "I am training and rehabilitating and look forward to being back on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour as soon as possible," she said. Serena, who played her first tournament in over six months last week in Cincinnati where she lost to Vera Zvonareva in the quarter-finals, said her sore left knee is not ready for consistent play. "I am just coming back from injury and my doctor has advised me against playing too much too quickly," said Serena, who had accepted a wild card into the Acura. "This is frustrating as I am eager to improve my ranking and play more tennis but it is something I must do." --
