LONDON, June 10 : World number nine Victoria Mboko slipped and appeared to injure her knee during her last-16 clash against Karolina Pliskova at the Queen’s Club WTA tournament on Wednesday and could be in doubt for her doubles quarter-final with Serena Williams.
The 19-year-old Canadian teamed up with Williams to win a doubles match on Tuesday as the 44-year-old American great returned to action after almost four years away from the sport.
Having beaten third seeds Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Erin Routliffe they were scheduled to face Leylah Fernandez and Laura Siegemund in the quarter-finals on Thursday.
Mboko, trailing 6-2 3-4 to the powerful Czech player, had a break point but fell awkwardly on the slick grass behind the baseline as she tried to change direction.
