WIMBLEDON, England (AP) – Time is running out as Serena Williams continues her quest for a record-tying 24th Grand Slam singles title.  The 39-year-old Williams had to retire in the first set after she hurt her leg in an Wimbledon opening-round match against Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus. Williams slipped on the grass while hitting a forehand in the fifth game. She received a medical timeout and was in the seventh game when her knee buckled, causing her to crumple to the grass. She was in tears as she walked to the net to concede.  Williams hasn’t won a Slam since 2017, keeping her one off the record held by Margaret Court.
