Serena Williams remained tight-lipped on whether last night’s appearance at Wimbledon will be her last. The tennis legend fought valiantly in her first match in over a year, but just fell short in a near three-hour thriller against France’s Harmony Tan.
After saving a match point at 5-6 down, Williams levelled for 6-6 and opened up a 4-0 lead in the final set super tiebreak. But the 24-year-old fought back valiantly and rose to the occasion to make up the deficit and claim the tiebreak 10-7. Williams, 40, left the court to rapturous applause.
During her post-match press conference, she refused to give a straight answer regarding her future. “Like I said coming into this, I'm just planning for right now, seeing how I feel, just to go from there,” the 23-time grand slam champion said.
