 Serena Williams falls to 20-year-old Maya Joint in Wimbledon return after nearly four-year singles absence Serena Williams showed flashes of the power and precision that defined her Hall of Fame career in her return to professional singles tennis Tuesday, but ultimately fell short in a three-set opening-round loss at Wimbledon. The 44-year-old Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam champion, was defeated 6-3, 6-7 (6), 6-3 by 20-year-old Australian Maya Joint in a match that lasted 2 hours and 22 minutes on Centre Court. It marked Williams’ first singles appearance in nearly four years, since the 2022 U.S. Open.

Observers on social media expressed mixed reactions, with some praising her look and others describing her appearance as “disturbingly thin.”


The discussion intensified when actress and activist Jameela Jamil weighed in, criticizing what she described as a “scarily thin” beauty standard on display at the ceremony. Jamil argued that such fragile ideals are harmful, especially for impressionable audiences, and urged women to embrace strength rather than frailty. 


She framed eating properly as an act of resistance against patriarchal pressures, warning that the normalization of extreme thinness undermines women’s ability to protect themselves and fight for their rights.

While rumors of plastic surgery have circulated in recent months, she has not confirmed undergoing any procedures, and her past comments suggest her physique is more likely the result of natural factors and personal challenges rather than cosmetic intervention.
