 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. Williams still produced trademark moments, including powerful serves and heavy groundstrokes that once carried her to seven Wimbledon singles titles. But Joint, ranked 87th, absorbed the pace and proved steadier on the biggest points, repeatedly finding angles that pushed Williams out of position. “I don’t know what just happened, to be honest,” Joint said afterward. “I didn’t get ...

 LAWMA EVACUATES OVER 418,000 TONNES OF WASTE IN MAY, STRENGTHENS SERVICE DELIVERY ACROSS LAGOS


The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has released its operational performance report for May 2026, highlighting ongoing efforts to improve waste collection, environmental sanitation, and service delivery across Lagos State.


Speaking on the report, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin said that the Authority remained focused on improving operational efficiency, strengthening service delivery, and addressing pressure points within the waste management system.


He disclosed that LAWMA and its network of licensed Private Sector Participation (PSP) operators evacuated a total of 418,500 tonnes of waste across the State in May, representing an average daily evacuation of 13,200 tonnes.


He stated that 442 PSP operators remained active across Lagos State, while 27 routes were currently under review as part of ongoing efforts to optimise service coverage and improve collection efficiency.


He added that the Authority cleared 173 waste blackspots during the reported period, covering road medians, markets, bus stops, and other public spaces impacted by indiscriminate waste disposal.


The LAWMA boss noted that the Authority continued to strengthen its customer engagement systems, receiving 474 complaints and service requests during the month, while ongoing efforts were being made to enhance response times and improve service delivery across the State.


According to him, LAWMA currently deploys 77 compactor trucks, five skip trucks, and 12 other operational equipment units across the State to support waste evacuation and environmental sanitation activities.


He stated that ongoing service improvement measures include route restructuring and optimisation, enhanced monitoring of PSP operations, infrastructure upgrades, equipment deployment, and sustained enforcement against environmental infractions.


He urged residents to support government efforts by patronising approved PSP operators, reporting service gaps through official channels, and refraining from indiscriminate waste disposal.


According to him, Lagos operates one of the largest urban waste management systems in Africa, requiring continuous investment, infrastructure upgrades, enforcement, and stakeholder collaboration to meet the demands of a rapidly growing population.


The LAWMA boss reaffirmed the Authority’s commitment to delivering cleaner communities, improving service standards, and building a more resilient and sustainable waste management system for Lagos State.
