LONDON (TIP): Seven-time champion Serena Williams’ hopes of claiming a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam singles title at Wimbledon ended in tears as the American quit with an injury early in her first-round match against unseeded Belarusian Aliaksandra Sasnovich. The 39-year-old needed treatment off the court when leading 3-2 in the first set and was clearly in distress on her return before being forced to retire at 3-3. “I was heartbroken to have to withdraw today after injuring my right leg,” Williams wrote on Instagram.
