After a one year of layoff from singles play, Serena Williams started her comeback Tuesday at Wimbledon to fall in the third set tie-breaker to 115th-ranked Harmony Tan of France 5–7, 6–1, 6–7 (10–7) lasting three hours 11 minutes.
Considered the world’s greatest women’s player who spent over 300 weeks at No. 1, Williams dropped in the rankings to No. 1204 after a 364-day layoff due to injuring her right hamstring from slipping on the wet Centre Court grass in the first set of her first-round match in 2021.
