LONDON - For the second time in four days a Wimbledon champion called Williams found herself being whipped by a high school teenager but in the end it was Serena Williams dishing out the punishment on Thursday.
An ugly smash into the net not only handed Juvan the set but also left an angry Williams staring at the ball in disgust — and if looks could kill, the ball would have turned to dust. But despite producing more unforced errors than winners , she put on a winning show for her friend Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, to seal a place in the third round against Germany’s Julia Goerges by firing down her sixth ace.
Williams had never lost to a player ranked outside the top 100 at the All England Club nor to a qualifier at any of the slams.Taking on a Wimbledon debutante whose Grand Slam record stood at a slightly more modest 1-1, the result appeared to be a foregone conclusion. The world number 133 saved break point by luring the 11th seed into the net with a dropshot and then just stood back to watch a screaming Williams wildly belt the ball into the backboards.
