Seven-time champion Serena Williams suffered a second straight Wimbledon first round exit as she was stunned by French debutant Harmony Tan in a late-night Centre Court epic on Tuesday (Jun 28).

A year after the American retired injured from what many feared would be her last Wimbledon match, her return was eagerly anticipated, but 115th-ranked Tan ripped up the script for a stomach-churning 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7) win.
