The 44-year-old fell to Maya Joint in three sets on Centre Court. A right-knee tweak has placed her planned doubles appearance with Venus Williams in doubt.
news.sky.comSerena Williams lost her first singles match in nearly four years on Tuesday at Wimbledon, falling to 20-year-old Australian Maya Joint 6-3, 6-7(6), 6-3 on Centre Court. The 44-year-old tweaked her right knee at the end of the first set but played on without requesting medical treatment.
She did not attend the mandatory post-match press conference and was excused by Wimbledon and WTA medical teams.
Williams left the All England Club site unaided that evening. She posted on Instagram that it felt good to be back on the grass and that she is doing everything possible to be ready for doubles. Williams and her sister Venus received a wildcard for the women's doubles and are scheduled to face Camila Osorio and Solana Sierra in the first round.
The pair last won the title together in 2016. Serena Williams' youngest daughter Adira, almost 3, watched her play singles for the first time. Her older daughter Olympia, 8, sat in the front row of the players' box.
Serena Williams is not scheduled to practice at the All England Club on Wednesday, while Venus Williams is slated to practice alone.
