Serena Williams’ comeback at Wimbledon ends in disappointment after 364 days away from singles competition. The 40-year-old tennis icon loses to 115th-ranked Harmony Tan of France with a score of 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7). Williams shows flashes of her former self with powerful serves but struggles with consistency, missing crucial shots.
Tan, making her Wimbledon debut, capitalizes on Williams’ errors and rallies from a set down to secure the win in a match that lasts 3 hours, 10 minutes. Williams, reflecting on her performance, states, “It’s definitely better than last year.” She remains uncertain about her future in tennis, responding to questions about retirement with, “That’s a question I can’t answer.”
Harmony Tan expresses awe at playing against a legend, saying, “When I saw the draw, I was really scared.” Williams’ hopes for a deep run are dashed in a stunning first-round exit.
