She says she really wanted to play alongside her sister, Venus Williams, and did everything she could to be ready … but unfortunately her knee simply isn’t there yet.

Serena thanks the tournament director and the whole team at Wimbledon for giving her the chance to compete … and also sends fans gratitude for their incredible support.

Despite the inauspicious end to her comeback, Serena isn’t hanging it up … she tells fans to keep an eye on a city near them — implying she may soon show up there and play again.

Serena also shared some shocking photos of syringes she says are full of fluid drained from her knee … indicating this isn’t just some soreness she couldn’t play through.

The star’s withdrawal came just days after she was bounced from the singles tournament in a shocking loss to Maya Joint in the tourney’s first round.

Serena’s appearance at Wimbledon marked her first professional tennis match since walking away from the sport after the U.S. Open in 2022.
