| Serena |
Williams was seen stopping near the 2km mark of the Serena Williams Live Ultimate Run South Beach 2015 event in Miami where she jumped into taxi. The car then sped to the finish line.
Her sister Venus, who was also taking part in the charity run, was able to complete the run to the end.
Serena had been one of 3,000 runners pounding the pavement along the course along Ocean Drive and through the Art Deco district of Miami Beach.
The 34-year-old top athlete was wearing an orange Nike t-shirt, black leggings and sneakers for the run but added a touch of her signature style with sparking earrings and matching ring.
She appeared to start the run well on Sunday morning but by around the two kilometer mark, witnesses at the event say they saw her climbing into the yellow cab.
It is not yet known why Williams used a cab to complete the majority of today’s charity run, but it is likely that a previous playing injury is to blame.
In October, the top-ranked player announced she was taking the rest of the year off to recover from a series of injuries.
She was forced to withdraw from her two final big tournaments, saying she needed time to heal from the physical injuries and the disappointment of losing out in her bid for the Grand Slam.
In a previous statement she admitted she had injured her knee and elbow this year and did not want to jeopardize her career by playing injured.
