Tearful Serena Williams slips out of Wimbledon after first-round fall

A slippery Centre Court surface saw Serena Williams’ latest title challenge at Wimbledon end in sad fashion after she had to retire from the tournament in the first round.
The seven-time singles winner at the All England Club slipped in the fifth game against Aliaksandra Sasnovich and needed a medical time-out.
Even though the American returned after a 10-minute delay and hit a handful of winners, the pain in her left ankle appeared too severe and she had to quit while in tears.
Wishing you a speedy recovery, @serenawilliams#Wimbledon
