struggled to move to her left.
"I have some knee inflammation that's going away very slowly. It's
going, it just needs a little more time," Serena told reporters,
refusing to rule out playing in the Americans' Hopman Cup match
against Czech Republic on Thursday.

"I'm not making any decisions. I'm just taking it one day at a
time," the 21-times grand slam singles champion said.
