Top seed Serena Williams has withdrawn from the Indian Wells semi finals following an injury she picked up on her right knee ahead of her game against third seed Simona Halep of Romania.


Williams who last participated in the championship in 2001 said it was amazing to return for the championship which was cut short by injury.

Halep will face former world number one Jelena Jankovic in Sunday's final after the Serb fought back to beat Germany's Sabine Lisicki 3-6 6-3 6-1.

"Four months ago I began a journey to play Indian Wells and it was amazing," said Williams.

"I never dreamed I could do it. But I would not have been able to do this without my fans.

"Though it ended early due to injury this year, I have to say I cannot wait to try again next year." BBC
