Serena Williams is done for the season, just like her sister.
In a statement e-mailed to the AP by her agent, the younger Williams said Tuesday she "re-tore the tendon" in her right foot, which she originally injured by cutting it on glass at a restaurant shortly after winning Wimbledon in July. Williams had surgery in New York on Monday; she first had the foot repaired July 15.
Her announcement came less than two weeks after Venus Williams said she won't play for the rest of the year because of a lingering injury to her left knee. Both sisters will miss the WTA Championships next week in Doha, Qatar, as well as the Fed Cup final between the United States and Italy next month at San Diego.
Serena hasn't played on tour since July 3, when she overwhelmed Vera Zvonareva 6-3, 6-2 to win her fourth Wimbledon championship and 13th Grand Slam singles title overall, most among active women. She lost the No. 1 ranking last week to Caroline Wozniacki, who has yet to win a Grand Slam tournament.

Rooney wants out at Man United Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson confirmed that Wayne Rooney, the reigning soccer player of the year in England, wants to leave the Premier League club.
"The player says he is adamant he wants to leave," Ferguson said.
Ferguson said Rooney, 24, called off contract negotiations in August. The striker's deal at United runs out in the summer of 2012.
Last season, Rooney scored 34 goals in Premier League play. But his form this season has dipped dramatically and his private life became the subject of allegations that he had repeatedly cheated on his then-pregnant wife with a prostitute.
