Serena Williams, Rejecting Health Doubts, Insists She’s Ready

MELBOURNE, Australia — Serena Williams has not played a meaningful match since losing in the semifinals of the United States Open in September.

Williams has professed that she is healthy despite pulling out of two matches and failing to complete a third at the Hopman Cup exhibition event last month, citing knee problems.

Williams, addressing the news media hours later, rejected the suggestion of a nagging injury.
