Tamara Korpatsch has slammed doubles partner Harmony Tan for pulling out of their first-round women’s doubles match at Wimbledon.
A lack of match sharpness proved too much as another quest for a 24th Grand Slam title hit the buffers.
World number one Iga Swiatek won her 36th consecutive match to record the longest winning streak in the women’s game in the 21st century.
Ash has now won three of the four Grand Slams and is 3-0 in grand slam finals.
The 40-year-old will be missing in action based on the advice of her doctors.
Serena limped out of her first-round match at Wimbledon in tears due to the leg injury that is yet to heal completely.
“The only thing I feel is that I feel for Naomi.”
Serena suffered a fourth round defeat against 21-year-old Elena Rybakina.
This was Serena’s 1,000th career match, while Osaka is yet to master the Clay Court.
“I did a lot of unforced errors in the first few games. I was really nervous and scared in the beginning.”
