THE LOW DOWN: Venus falls ill + withdraws from tourneys, no reason given

Venus Williams announced she'll be withdrawing from all tournaments indefinitely for an undisclosed medical reason.

Last season, the former No. 1 was diagnosed with anemia after winning her fourth title Wimbledon title but then suffered lethargy and dizzy spells during the US Open. And now this news...cryptic, eh?

If anyone has any more information out there, let me know. In any case, I wish V well.
