American legend Serena Williams’s dreams of winning her eighth Wimbledon singles title and equalling Margaret Court’s Grand Slam record of 24, ended in tears on Tuesday as further doubt was cast on her future in the sport. 

Injures right leg

Williams, 39, was leading 3-1 in the first set of her first-round match against Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus when she slipped and injured her right leg. Williams returned from receiving medical attention but called it a day at 3-3 and walked off Centre Court in tears.
