Serena Williams, seven-time Wimbledon champion, lost her first match at a Grand Slam in a year. Harmony Tan, the 115th ranked player in the world, defeated the tennis legend 7-5, 1-6, 7-6(7) in a match that lasted over three hours.
It was a fiercely competitive match from start to finish, with neither player ever letting up or letting go. And there were signs of the Serena we all know. Her overhand smash was fiery. Her serve was strong and lively. She was full of passion and intensity. But at the start, it wasn't quite the same. She was indecisive, leading to a lot of missed shots and unforced errors.
