Serena Williams loses at Wimbledon in 1st match in a year

Associated Press  

WIMBLEDON, England — Serena Williams began — and ended — her comeback at Wimbledon after 364 days out of singles competition looking very much like someone who hadn’t competed in just that long. Who knows where I’ll pop up?” With her older sister, Venus, jumping out of a guest box seat at Centre Court to celebrate the best points, Serena Williams was oh-so-close to pulling out a topsy-turvy match that lasted 3 hours, 11 minutes and was contested with the retractable roof shut for the last two sets. “When I saw the draw, I was really scared,” Tan said with a laugh, “because it’s Serena Williams. You’ve got to think if I were playing matches, I wouldn’t miss some of those points.” Still, Tan was a point from victory at 6-5, and Williams erased that with a forehand winner — beginning a seven-point run that not only sent the match to a tiebreaker but put her ahead 4-0 in it.
