LONDON, June 29 (Xinhua) American veteran Serena Williams had to retire midway in her first round match after injuring her leg due to a slippery center court at the Wimbledon Championships on Tuesday. Earlier on the same court, Swiss great Roger Federer received a win without fighting to the end as his first-round opponent Adrian Mannarino injured his knee after a slip. Williams, 39, arrived in London to chase for her 24th Grand Slam title in the women s singles but played for only 34 minutes of her opening match against Aliaksandra Sasnovich before a tearful withdrawal.

Wimbledon’s tennis courts may be wet again on Tuesday as rain is predicted to fall during the tournament’s second day.
And there is also a chance of rain at the day’s other major sporting event, England’s Euro 2020 last 16 match against Germany at Wembley.
The first day of the Wimbledon Championships – being held for the first time in two years – included a number of matches being cancelled after rain beat down on south-west London.
Play was due to start on the outside courts at 11am but downpours prompted organisers to delay proceedings, and several matches were ultimately moved to day two.
