Williams got off to a good start in her first round game, quickly taking a 3-1 lead. When the score was 3: 3, however, she tipped forward. And grabbed his left knee. The 39-year-old American could still be treated, but continuing to play was out of the question.
With another major title, Williams would set Australian Margaret Court's record - but since the birth of her daughter Olympia in September 2017, she has been chasing this record in vain. In her last four starts at the All England Club she had always reached the final, but the last title was dated back in 2016. Three years ago Williams had lost the final against Angelique Kerber.
