Serena Williams had to retire from Wimbledon with an apparent leg injury in the first set of Tuesday's match, forcing her out of the tournament.⠀
⠀
Williams had slipped on wet grass on Centre Court while playing against Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus.⠀
⠀
After taking a time out to get her leg treated and wrapped by an athletic trainer, the seven-time Wimbledon singles champion gave it another shot. However, she was unable to move and was forced to retire from the match.⠀
⠀
Williams last won the women's singles title at the All-England Club in 2016. She has won 23 Grand Slam titles overall, one short of Margaret Court's modern record.⠀
