Serena Williams<\/a>‘ big Wimbledon comeback came up short on Tuesday — as the tennis superstar was defeated in the first round of the singles tournament.<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old took center court at the All England Club for the first time in four years … facing off against Maya Joint in a three-set thriller.<\/p>\n

After losing the first set 6-3, Serena fought her way back into it by winning a tiebreaker in the second … but the 20-year-old Australian pro answered with another 6-3 effort to advance and end Williams’ singles campaign.<\/p>\n

The two shook hands after it was all over … and while SW had a smile on her face, the competitor in her had to have been bummed.<\/p>\n

Williams had plenty of support in the stands … as her husband, Alexis Ohanian<\/a>, and their two kids were present for the action — as well as her sister and doubles partner, Venus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s not completely over for Serena — she will take the court with Venus on Thursday for a doubles match against Solana Sierra and Camila Osorio.<\/p>\n

Most tennis fans are in agreement — the result doesn’t really matter … getting back out there after four years away was a victory in itself for Serena.<\/p>\n
