WIMBLEDON, England -- Five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams has pulled out of the grass-court Grand Slam tournament because of a lower back injury. Williams agent, Carlos Fleming, says Wimbledon was told of her decision Tuesday. Williams, who turned 33 on Monday, was bothered by her back during a first-round loss at the French Open last month, then cited that injury when she and her younger sister Serena withdrew from the doubles competition in Paris. The older Williams played at Wimbledon each of the last 16 years -- never missing it since her debut in 1997. She won the title in 2000-01, 2005 and 2007-08. Williams lost in the first round at the All England Club last year. Play begins at Wimbledon next Monday. http://www.authenticshoptitans.com/rishard-matthews-jersey/ .

What did we learn from Jarryd Haynes first NRL game for Gold Coast?After two years away from the NRL, Jarryd Haynes highly anticipated return was nothing short of amazing.Despite starting from the bench on his Gold Coast debut, Hayne had a huge impact and at times looked like he had never been away - producing try-saving defence, strong ball running and creative attack that had Titans fans salivating and Parramatta Eels fans weeping.There is little doubt that he will only get better for the run and will play a major role as Gold Coast chase a spot in the NRL playoffs, but I found one reason that may provide some concern for Titans fans.Gold Coast have surprised many so-called NRL experts this season, and one major reason for that is the form of rookie halfback Ashley Taylor; but the 21-year-old seemed happy to take a backseat when Hayne was on the field against the Warriors.If the Titans are to secure a place in the NRL finals, Taylor must take control of the team like he has done all season. Gold Coast also must not fall into the same trap as Parramatta used to, and not look to throw the ball to Hayne at every opportunity.What does Jarryd Haynes Titans move mean for the premiership race?One look at the UBET NRL Premiership odds and it appears the punters believe Jarryd Haynes signature is enough to improve Gold Coasts chances of making the NRL finals.Hayne is a fantastic addition to the already well performed 2016 Gold Coast outfit, but some question marks remain given he hasnt played 80 minutes of any sport for two years.The Titans firmed with UBET to qualify for September football, but 2017 is when they are expected to feel the real benefit of Haynes arrival with Gold Coast moving up to the fifth line of betting in the premiership odds.?NRL premierships are not easy to win and a lot of factors that need to combine perfectly for it to happen but the Titans do appear to be on the right track, however, I also expect 2017 or even 2018 to be a more realistic timeline.How much of a blow is Jarryd Haynes Titans move for Parramatta?There is no sugarcoating it -- It is a massive blow for Parramatta in a number of ways. It is an embarrassing reflection of just how dire the situation at the Eels really is, as if we needed any more evidence.Hayne couldnt hide his deep love for Parramatta when he was unveiled at his Gold Coast media conference, but even that wasnt enough for him to go back to the Eels.The fact that Hayne didnt want to return to the Eels is also a concern for their hopes of recruiting other big-name players; if a proud Parramatta junior isnt interested then how on earth will they convince other players to join?Parramatta is one of the wealthiest clubs in the NRL but their off-field dramas have seen the club haemorrhage an alarming amount of money over the past few seasons and the marketing muscle Haayne offers wouldve helped inject some funds back into the coffers.dddddddddddds it strange for Gold Coast to accept theyre his second choice?It was certainly a unique situation that Gold Coast found themselves in at Jarryd Haynes unveiling, when all he seemed to talk only about was his disappointment at not being back at Parramatta.It probably wasnt an ideal scenario for the Titans, who are shelling out $Aus2.4 million for Haynes signature, but I am not convinced they care a great deal that they were his second choice.Regardless of what opinion you may have of Hayne, one thing is certain: He is a professional and will always strive to produce his best no matter what colour jersey hes wearing.?Its no secret that Hayne loves Parramatta and wanted to return home, but Gold Coast will know they are on a winner on and off the field; even if he doesnt regain his sizzling best form, his arrival will bring a lot more positives than negatives. Certainly his debut against the Warriors draw the largest crowd at Robina Stadium for six seasons.The Titans have a host of players including Nathan Peats, Chris McQueen, Konrad Hurrell and Ashley Taylor who probably didnt want to move to the Gold Coast initially, but now they seem to be loving the place and I think Hayne will be no different.Can Jarryd Hayne return to his best form as an NRL player?Jarryd Hayne is an elite athlete who left the NRL as one of the best rugby league players in the competition, but it is no sure bet that he will regain that brand of form.?Hes now 28-years old and his absence from the NRL will probably mean he is likely to be a little rusty to begin with, but only a brave or foolish person will write him off completely.His experiment with NFL and sevens rugby proves he is driven and determined, and I expect he will use the rest of the 2016 to reacquaint himself with the game before the Hayne Plane prepares for launch again in 2017.?Can Gold Coast win a premiership while he is a Titans player?A lot of so-called experts and fans (myself included) predicted Gold Coast would claim the wooden spoon.Fast-forward six months and they are still in the hunt for the NRL finals, have corporate sponsors kicking down their door, and boast a roster full of talented young stars.The Titans and their fans are right to be excited about Haynes signing, but the hysteria around an NRL premiership this season is premature.Neil Henry has built a strong team and Hayne is a valuable addition to any side, but I expect Gold Coast to grow into genuine premiership contenders over the next two years rather than this season.So, in answer to the question - yes, Gold Coast can win a premiership while Hayne is a Titan but it is certainly no sure thing.
