Tennis legend Serena Williams has sustained a knee injury during her return to Wimbledon, casting a shadow over her highly anticipated doubles match with sister Venus Williams. The injury occurred towards the end of her first singles match in four years, a tough three-set loss to Maya Joint.
Williams, 44, was excused from her mandatory post-match media conference due to the ailment. Her agent confirmed that she "tweaked her knee" and received medical attention, including crutches being brought to the locker room, though she left the stadium unaided. This development puts her doubles campaign in jeopardy.
Fans had eagerly awaited the Williams sisters' reunion on the Wimbledon grass courts, where they have achieved significant success together, winning 14 Grand Slam titles. Their scheduled doubles match is now in doubt, with an update expected soon. The 2026 Wimbledon Championships are set to conclude on July 12.
