By Universal Sports

An injury forced U.S. beach volleyball player Misty May-Treanor and partner Kerri Walsh out of their semifinal match at the FIVB Sanya Open on Saturday.

During the second set against China's Xue Chen and Zhang Xi, May-Treanor hurt her left knee and after having it looked at by an athletic trainer, she and Walsh forfeited the match. The pair is slated to play in Sunday's bronze-medal tilt against Maria Antonelli and Talita Antunes.

May-Treanor and Walsh lost the first set (21-13) and were trailing 10-8 in the second set before the injury occurred.  "She injured her left knee and we don' t know how serious it is," Walsh said in a Xinhua News story. "She is going to have treatment right now and we will see whether she can play or not tomorrow."   Read more
