The 43-year-old American, contesting the Wimbledon singles for a record 24th time, still retains the easy power that once made her the queen of Centre Court but succumbed 6-4 6-3 after a nasty early fall hindered her movement. It was just bad luck for me," former world number one Williams told reporters later. Williams had more treatment before the start of set two but dropped serve immediately with a forehand into the net. Asked if she had considered pulling out after her slip, Williams said her only thought had been trying to figure out a way to win.

[1/5] Tennis - French Open - Roland Garros, Paris, France - June 4, 2023 Russia's Daria Kasatkina gestures at the net after losing her fourth round match against Ukraine's Elina Svitolina REUTERS/Benoit TessierPARIS, June 5 (Reuters) - Russian Daria Kasatkina said she left the French Open with a bitter taste in her mouth after being booed off by the crowd following her fourth-round defeat against Ukraine's Elina Svitolina on Sunday. Svitolina had said she would not shake hands with Russian or Belarusian players at Roland Garros because of Russia's invasion of her country. Kasatkina has been one of very few Russian players to speak out against the war, calling it "a full nightmare". Geopolitics have been at the centre of this year's French Open, with Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus skipping her post-match press conference twice, saying she felt unsafe after being grilled about the war. Last week, two-time French Open champion Novak Djokovic started a controversy after writing on a camera lens "Kosovo is the heart of Serbia" amid unrest in the region.
