Djokovic Defends Serena Williams Amid Criticism
The tennis star urged perspective after Williams' first-round exit, highlighting the pressure on returning legends.
Novak Djokovic has intervened to defend Serena Williams, urging the tennis world to dial back the harsh criticism following her first-round exit at Wimbledon. The 23-time Grand Slam champion faced a wave of scrutiny after her return to singles play, but Djokovic argues that the reaction lacks necessary context and respect for her unparalleled achievements. Williams returned to the All England Club for the first time since stepping away from the sport, only to fall in the opening round.
