Serena Williams Exits Wimbledon Doubles After Knee Injury at 44

Serena Williams withdrew from Wimbledon doubles with sister Venus on July 4, four years after their last Grand Slam pairing. A right knee injury from her three-set singles loss to 20-year-old Maya Jolt forced the withdrawal. The 44-year-old thanked tournament officials but hinted cryptically at future plans: "stay tuned to a city near you"—leaving competitive ambitions uncertain.
