Serena Williams said she fell off of a bicycle last October near her home in Florida, prior to having a second surgery on her injured foot. She said that the injury she sustained on what she described as a pink beach cruiser wasn't serious, but was embarrassing.
"It was a disaster," she laughingly told reporters after her 6-3, 6-2 win over Maria Kirilenko in the third round of Wimbledon. "I was riding in my community and I wasn't obeying local traffic laws. I was going too fast and then I just couldn't control the speed and I fell. It was horrible. It was actually really funny because everyone was laughing at me. I had like this horrible scar. The ambulance just so happened to be driving by. I was just like, 'Oh, my God.' They came over, 'Are you okay?' I have a scar on my shoulder that won't go away. I had a scar on my face, but that went away."
