 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 ...

MAYOR SERVED WITH HARASSMENT ORDER AFTER MOM CONFRONTS HIM AT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION: 'YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO MY DAUGHTER'. (PHOTO).


 Mayor served with harassment order after mom confronts him at high school graduation: 'You know what you did to my daughter'


Mayor Moises Rodrigues of Brockton, Massachusetts, is facing a harassment prevention order after a woman accused him of inappropriate behavior involving her daughter. The allegations surfaced publicly during Brockton High School’s graduation ceremony on June 6, when the woman shouted at Rodrigues in front of attendees, demanding he leave. 


His office later confirmed that the issue stemmed from an interaction at the city’s Huntington Day Parade on May 22, where the student reportedly felt “uncomfortable.” Rodrigues said he cooperated fully with Brockton Public Schools after learning of the concern.


Despite being asked not to attend the graduation, Rodrigues chose to deliver remarks but refrained from handing out diplomas to avoid close contact with students. He stated he was unsure which specific interaction the complaint referred to, noting the parade involved hundreds of people. 


On June 8, the 64-year-old mayor was formally served with the harassment order, requiring him to stay 100 yards away from the student. The Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office confirmed it is investigating the complaint, and a two-party hearing is scheduled for June 22.


Rodrigues, who also chairs the Brockton School Committee, attended a closed-door meeting about the allegations but did not answer questions from reporters. 


School committee member Stephen Pina emphasized that students must feel safe and respected at school events, while parents expressed heartbreak and hope that the truth will emerge. 


Rodrigues, who has served as mayor since January 2025, continues to face scrutiny as the investigation unfolds, with community members voicing concern about accountability and transparency.
