Serena Williams Retires Mid-Match At Wimbledon, Pulls Out Of Tournament Due To Injury

Seven-time Wimbledon winner Serena Williams was forced on Tuesday to retire from her match and withdraw from the tournament due to injury. Williams, who recently announced she would not play in the Olympics, arrived on court with her right thigh heavily bandaged. The 23-time Grand Slam champion was leading Belarusian Aliaksandra Sasnovich by a break in the first set at 3-1, serving at 15-15, when she slipped at the back of the grass court. Williams did not fall to the ground, but received an off-court medical timeout and treatment on her left ankle before returning to the court.
