Williams rejects retirement rumours
And it’s a shame she had to do it so early in this year’s Wimbledon tournament… That’s because Serena Williams – one of the greatest tennis players of all time – didn’t get through to the 2nd round, losing yesterday morning to debutante Harmony Tan in a thrilling 3-setter. It was the first singles match Williams had played in 12 months after limping off Wimbledon’s centre court with an ankle injury in last year’s first round. Now ranked 1,204th in the world, Williams says there’s lots of motivation to play in the US Open in August-September, saying it’s “something that’s always super special”. As for the Aussies, there are a few blokes to look out for today, including Nick Kyrgios. He’s set to play his 2nd round match tonight. As for the women, our hopes ride on Ajla Tomljanović – her 2nd round match is also today. The Special Ks – Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis – will also be looking to make a splash after Kokkinakis was bundled out of the singles by Novak Djokovic overnight.
