Serena Williams has pulled out of next week’s Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo as she continues her recovery from a foot injury.
The 28-year-old American has not played since her victory at Wimbledon after cutting her right foot on broken glass in a restaurant.
Williams described withdrawing from the US Open last month as “one of the most devastating moments of my career”.
Tokyo will be the fifth tournament she has missed because of the injury.
Wimbledon runner-up Vera Zvonareva, French Open champion Francesca Schiavone, world number two Caroline Wozniacki and defending champion Maria Sharapova are among those scheduled to play in Tokyo.
Williams, who was in London this week to attend for a fashion show, underwent surgery in Los Angeles on 15 July.
Victories in this year’s Australian Open and Wimbledon took her career record to 13 Grand Slam titles.
