Serena Williams was forced to exit the Wimbledon tournament Tuesday after injuring her right leg in the first set of her first-round match when she lost her footing.

Williams tried to continue, but her legs buckled as she tried to reach a shot by 100th-ranked Aliaksandra Sasnovich.

She said in a statement later, “I was heartbroken to have to withdraw today.”

Winners on Day Two included top women’s seed Ash Barty, Roger Federer, second-seeded men’s player Daniil Medvedev and Williams’ sister Venus.
