Serena Williams started Tuesday evening’s match against world number 100 Aliaksandra Sasnovich well though but had to retire from the game due to injury to her right thigh.

The 23-time Grand Slam winner, who wore strapping on her right thigh from the start of the match, broke Sasnovich in the Bulgarian’s second service game but appeared to roll her ankle in the process of returning a shot.

The sight of Williams in pain and in tears was hard to watch as she left the court having worked so hard to get back to action.

Tears filled her eyes as Williams thanked the crowd, who had been trying to encourage her, for their support.

Taking to her Instagram page later on, She wrote;

“I was heartbroken to have to withdraw today after injuring my right leg,”

“My love and gratitude are with the fans and the team who make being on Centre Court so meaningful.

“Feeling the extraordinary warmth and support of the crowd when I walked on – and off – the court meant the world to me.”
