Oh no! Serena Williams has been forced to withdraw from 2021 Wimbledon after suffering an injury to her knee on the court mid-match. Wimbledon 2021 just started, and this was Serena‘s very first match.

The 39-year-old tennis star was playing, and was about 30 minutes into her match, when she went to return a ball from her competitor, Aliaksandra Sasnovich. She slid on the court, and appeared to hurt her leg. The commentators have mentioned several times that the court is a bit slippery from rain.

She tried to return to the match, but after two more hits, she fell to the ground and seemingly knew she had to leave the match due to injury.

She looked so emotional as she waved to the crowd and walked off the court. She was in the middle of the match and was 3-3 in the first set.

We’re wishing Serena Williams well and hope she recovers soon!

Serena Williams has sent a message of support for Naomi Osaka after the young tennis star decided to withdraw from the 2021 French Open.

Naomi previously announced that she wouldn’t be doing press at the tournament and would accept any fines that were imposed on her. She said the press conferences were affecting her mental health as they gave her anxiety during an already stressful time. Eventually, Naomi decided to withdraw from the tournament completely after she was threatened with expulsion.

While doing her own press conference after a win in round one on Monday (May 31), Serena commented on the news.

“Honestly I just found out before I walked into the press conference, so that’s the extent of it right now for me,” Serena told reporters.

Gucci‘s latest campaign for their Beloved line features so many stars!

The campaign features Dakota Johnson, Harry Styles, Serena Williams, Awkwafina, Diane Keaton, and Sienna Miller on the set of James Corden‘s talk show.

“We decided to show the concept of ‘beloved’ in an ironic way in the campaign, being inspired by the fact that bags are the protagonists in my life and in the lives of many other people,” creative director Alessandro Michele said in a statement. “We went back in time to the original TV talk shows, where the protagonist is the bag itself, the big star. Very often these creations are named after influential women who conditioned the habits and customs of many. It is precisely because they have great personalities that in the industry we gave them these powerful names; and now we have them in a show and twisted with the idea that there were two stars: the bag and the actual talent. A game of cross-references between the two great protagonists.”

During the chat, she called Meghan “the strongest person I know” following her highly publicized interview with husband Prince Harry and Oprah Winfrey..

“Meghan is a great person and I think the epitome of strength, the epitome of confidence, the epitome of just selflessness, and the epitome of everything is just her and everything that she’s gone through. I know it’s not easy, and you can see from the interview that it wasn’t easy, but she had so much poise and she still had so much class,” she said.

She added that she doesn’t “know anyone else that could handle everything on such a global scale the way that she’s had to handle things that are just untrue — minute after minute. Not even day after day. Just minute after minute, just another untrue allegation being thrown at her.”
