 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.

 Israel targets Khamenei, senior officials in effort to destabilize Iran's regime

The Israeli Air Force launched a series of strikes across Iran on Saturday morning targeting Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and senior political and military officials, according to Israeli and U.S. sources. The operation is part of a broader U.S.-Israeli campaign aimed at destabilizing the Iranian regime, which has governed since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Israeli officials said the strikes hit three sites where top leaders were gathered, aiming to remove key figures involved in managing the regime. Among those reportedly targeted were President Masoud Pezeshkian, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Mohammad Pakpour, Defense Minister Amir Nasirzadeh, Khamenei’s top security adviser Ali Shamkhani, and former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Officials indicated that Pakpour and Nasirzadeh may have been killed, while Khamenei’s sons likely survived. U.S. strikes focused on Iran’s missile program and launchers, while Israeli strikes concentrated on leadership targets and missile infrastructure. Israeli authorities said it will take several hours to fully assess the impact of the operation.

In video statements on Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on Iranians from all regions to rise up and overthrow the current government, framing the strikes as creating conditions for regime change. President Donald Trump also addressed the Iranian people, urging them to remain at home during the attacks and to seize control of their government once the operations conclude, warning that this might be their only opportunity for generations.
