Serena Williams Wins First Match Easily At Wimbledon
Serena Williams, the defending Wimbledon champ has come out strong this year. She easily beat her first opponent at Wimbledon.
According the Associated Press:
Serena Williams finished with an ace and a curtsy, showing she’s ready for the queen and a lot more at Wimbledon.
The defending champion won her opening match Tuesday, relying on an overpowering serve to beat 17-year-old Michelle Larcher de Brito of Portugal 6-0, 6-4.
Williams won all 27 points on her first serve and hit 15 aces, the last on her final shot. As the crowd applauded her victory, Williams curtsied, mindful Queen Elizabeth II is expected to visit Wimbledon for the first time since 1977 on Thursday.
Williams plays her second-round match that day and has been practicing her curtsy.
“I want it to be more natural,” she said. “Right now it feels really forced. Seems like I’ve never done a curtsy before, which may be true. But I’m looking forward to nailing it.”
