A “heartbroken” Serena Williams has been forced to bring her Wimbledon comeback to a premature end after the 44-year-old was forced to withdraw from her first-round doubles match with sister Venus Williams due to a knee injury.
The 23-time grand slam champion “tweaked” her right knee during her first singles match in four years on Tuesday night, putting her involvement in the doubles in major doubt after a thrilling three-set defeat to Maya Joint under the roof on Centre Court.
