Serena Williams is knocked out of Wimbledon in the first round of her singles comeback, losing to 20-year-old Australian player Maya Joint. Multiple outlets report the match as Williams’ first professional singles appearance in nearly four years, marking her return to the tour earlier this month. NBC News and the Los Angeles Times both describe the loss as occurring in straight sets or in three sets, with Williams competing despite being 23 years older than her opponent. The Los Angeles Times characterizes Williams as hanging tough before ultimately losing to Joint at the All England Club. NBC News notes the length of time since Williams’ last singles match—1,397 days—and frames the match as her official return. NDTV also reports that Williams plays her first professional singles match in nearly four years and exits at the first-round stage after losing to Joint. No sources dispute the identity of the opponent or the fact that Williams loses in her opening match at Wimbledon during her comeback.
