Reuters: World number one Serena Williams added her name to the list of slain seeds at the Wuhan Open on Tuesday after the American was forced to retire from her second round match against France’s Alize Cornet because of illness.

The top seed, playing her first match since winning her 18th grand slam singles title at the U.S. Open earlier this month, broke Cornet to lead 6-5 in the first set when she called for the doctor to come on court at the change over.
