Williams, who has not played since she won her 13th grand slam at Wimbledon earlier this year, had surgery after she cut her foot on broken glass at a restaurant in July.

The injury will keep her from competing at the Pan Pacific Open and China Open tournaments over the next two weeks.

“While I have continued to make progress in the recovery of my foot injury, unfortunately I am still not ready to compete,” Williams said on the WTA website.

“In the meantime I am focused on my rehab program and remain optimistic to return to competition this season.”
