Williams and Jabeur won their first two matches in the tournament and were scheduled to play in the semi-finals against Aleksandra Krunic of Serbia and Poland’s Magda Linette.
The WTA 500 tournament was the first competitive event for Williams — though she picked only doubles — since the 23-times major champion limped out of her first-round match at last year’s Wimbledon in tears due to a leg injury.
The 40-year-old, who has won seven Wimbledon singles titles, has taken a singles wildcard for the grasscourt major — the main draw of which starts on Monday.
