Kyrgios rants about 'snitch', sends ball out of stadium in meltdown amid early shock vs world No.219.

It was just the second time in his career Kyrgios lost his first set of the tournament at Wimbledon. Just three games into the match Kyrgios ranted to the umpire, declaring a line judge was a “snitch” and had “no fans”, before finding himself in difficulty serving later in the set.

She has reached the championship match of the major in 11 of the 20 times she has competed. This year, Serena Williams is competing at the Wimbledon Championships for the 21st time in her career.

The Wimbledon victory also earned her the world number one ranking for the first time in her career.

On the next point, Jubb missed a backhand volley, and that seemed it would be a fatal mistake. Especially towards the end of the fourth set, Jubb took control with his forehand, crushing key forehands down the line to force a decider and frustrate his opponent. And when he earned opportunities, he made the most of them. Daniel Evans, Alexander Bublik and Kyle Edmund were among those who took a look at the match, especially as it grew tighter and therefore more tense. Throughout the match, the Briton showed no fear of the big moment, putting gutsy shotmaking on display, taking it to Kyrgios when he had the opportunity. "I know it's not going to be the case.

The American was first to break in the decider but Tan levelled at 3-3. There’s definitely a lot of motivation to get better and play at home,” the 40-year-old American said afterwards, brushing off retirement talk. “When I saw the draw, I was really scared. “I am just playing for right now. It is business as usual at the Grand Slam this year after the tournament was cancelled due to Covid in 2020 and last year was played in front of reduced crowds. I thought if I can win one game, two games, that would be really good for me.” “I’m so emotional now,” said Tan. “She’s a superstar. The All England Club said in a statement that protocols remained in place to minimise the risk of infection. But from 4-2 down the second seed found an extra gear, winning the next four games to seal the match in a little over three and a half hours, roared on by the Centre Court crowd. Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, broke after a mammoth second game of the second set and went on to level the match 6-1. Serena Williams was defeated in her first singles match for a year on Tuesday, going down 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7) to unseeded Harmony Tan in the first round of Wimbledon. Seven-time champion Williams was cheered as she walked onto Centre Court for the evening match, but she looked rusty and was broken in her first service game.

Serena Williams has been knocked out of Wimbledon in the first round, suffering a dramatic three-set loss to Harmony Tan.

This time last year, she quit her Wimbledon first round match in tears after suffering an injury that has kept her out of action for the best part of 12 months. Tan went up 8-6 then soon it was 8-7, before a Williams unforced error gave her rival match point. What On Earth.— Carole Bouchard 💜💛 (@carole_bouchard) June 28, 2022 Tan won three games straight in the third set but Williams pulled out what was described on social media as the “drop shot of her life” to take a 5-4 lead and be on the verge of an astonishing victory.

Nick Kyrgios capped his first-round victory at Wimbledon by spitting in the direction of a spectator he said was hassling him.

It’s not in the tennis culture, especially let alone at Wimbledon. I think the line definitely is a lot closer to being crossed than I would say than other sports because that’s just the culture of tennis. That’s just a part of the sport. “That’s definitely way past the line,” she said. “Personally, I’ve never experienced any type of heckling on the court (and) I’m very lucky, because I know other players have experienced it. It was more just to stir up and disrespect. Like, he literally came to the match to literally just not even support anyone, really.

Tan had never advanced past qualifying at Wimbledon before this year. She's now gotten past one of the greatest of all time.

Tennis Majors reported that she continued to pursue her education over the years. She would not appear in another Grand Slam singles tournament until the 2018 U.S. Open, where she was also eliminated in the first round. It also said she has been surfing for the past 15 years. It matches the farthest she has advanced in any Grand Slam singles event. The closest she had gotten to the world's oldest tennis tournament was the second round of 2021 women's singles qualifying, where she was eliminated. She finally earned a spot in the main draw in 2022.

Serena Williams lost in her first singles match in 364 days, outlasted by 115th-ranked Frenchwoman Harmony Tan 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 in the Wimbledon first round.

Asked if there’s any part of her that wants to play the U.S. Open in two months, she said, “That being the first place I’ve won a Grand Slam [in 1999], is something that’s always super special. Tan went up a mini break at 8-6 in the tiebreak, then served it out. This time around, even though I’m considered a favorite, I don’t feel like it as much as I did when I was 15 or even 16. I feel like I learned so much not to put pressure on now, now, now. Asked if she’s OK if this is her last memory at Wimbledon, she said, “Obviously not. “I feel like I’m a lot more relaxed than when I was considered the sensation,” Gauff said before the tournament.

Emma Raducanu result: The British No.1 crashed out of Wimbledon in the second round after losing in straight sets to Caroline Garcia.

Garcia misses a volley at the net to give Raducanu a second break point and this time she gets it. Garcia finds the net herself to offer Raducanu the immediate break back but a strong serve puts it to deuce. Raducanu gets to 30-0 courtesy of two Garcia errors. Raducanu hits a fast backhand across the court to go to 15-15 but then strikes the same shot long on the next point. Raducanu attempts a lob and Garcia can't quite connect and her volley goes into the net. Raducanu slightly loses her footing mid-rally and Garcia punishes her with a forehand into empty space. Garcia then double faults and hits a forehand long, 30-30. Garcia fires one into the crowd (the man catches it one handed!) and then hits a forehand long to go 30-15 down. Garcia comes to the net at the next and Raducanu only has one place to go, across court on her backhand and she makes it to get break point. The fourth results in a rally but Garcia hits a forehand wide. Raducanu goes aggressive this time, a forehand winner gives her the opener. Raducanu just can't get any consistency with her forehand and she finds the net.

That's all I could do on this particular day." "Your first time is always special. "At some point you have to be okay with that, and I'm okay, that's all I could do. The roof was closed, so it felt even more intense. "After leaving Wimbledon the way she did last year with the injury, I think that's not how she wants to leave Wimbledon. She would have loved to have won a match here today. In the wake of her loss to unseeded French player Harmony Tan, the 23-time Grand Slam winner said she "can't answer" whether she would return in years to come.

The all-time great was downed in the first round of Wimbledon after spending a year away from the court.

I feel like . . . I don't know. Onward and up," Williams said. "Obviously, the summer is — we're in the summer now, and right in the swing of it.
