Serena Williams may be a four-time Wimbledon champion. That doesn’t mean she automatically gets to play on the most famous court in tennis.
After opening her title defense two days ago on Centre Court, the 13-time Grand Slam singles champion moved today into the third round with a 3-6, 6-2, 6-1 win over Romania’s Simona Halep on Court 2, a small show court stuck in a far corner of the Wimbledon complex. It seats about 4,000 people, almost 10,000 fewer than Centre Court.
