Serena Williams Withdraws from Wimbledon Doubles After Knee Injury at 44

Serena Williams pulled out of her Wimbledon doubles match with sister Venus on 4 July, four years after their last Grand Slam doubles appearance together. A right knee injury sustained during her three-set singles loss to 20-year-old Maya Joint forced the withdrawal. Williams, 44, thanked tournament director Jamie Baker on Instagram but ended cryptically: "stay tuned to a city near you"—leaving open whether further competitive play lies ahead.
