#ed_op#div#ed_cl#IMHO, I see no reason Serena being 17 some years younger cannot pull a Janet Jackson. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#When Janet needs to get her body on point, she's on it.

ROME -- Serena Williams has withdrawn from next week's Italian Open, saying she needs more time to be "100 percent ready to compete."

She is going to the big wedding in London. She figured this royal wedding is a one time event while there are tennis matches every week.
Easy choice.

I thought about this but haven't read anything about her being invited.
