- Retirements in back-to-back matches raise concerns
- ‘It’s extremely slippy out there,’ says Murray
Andy Murray has joined a chorus of players raising concerns about Wimbledon’s Centre Court surface being too slippery after Serena Williams was forced to retire during her first-round match.
Williams, a 23-time grand slam champion, appeared to twist her ankle in the fifth game of her match against the Belarusian world No 100, Aliaksandra Sasnovich, and was forced to withdraw a game later after her body buckled as she tried to return a serve.
