Serena and Venus played in something they called the Williams Invitational today. I know plenty of people are going to have a problem with Serena pulling out of tournament after tournament since the Australian Open (including next weeks event in Charleston) but I think people need to take a step back and realize that she is obviously not playing full-out here... She's more likely having a bit of fun and probably testing things out. Not hard to understand. I know she may be flirting with WTA rules but for me - I'll let this one slide.
From Serena's Twitter page:
1. Playing the first annual Williams Invitational. Singles are happening now...Hopefully my partner @vernondavis85 and I will win doubles!!!
2. So much fun!!!! And the best part is the snack table on the courts!!! Lol
3. I made it to the finals but I'm playing sascha! He's going down!!!!!!!!!!
4. Ugh! We lost! But @vernondavis85 was a great partner! I'm off to play singles final against Sascha now. Wish me luck!!!!
Serena won.

I don't have a problem with it at all. If it was for me she could skip the whole tour...
