The eighth racket of the planet in the second round of the William “WTA 1000” series tournament with 6-7 (6: 8), 5-7 gave way to the Argentine tennis player Nadja Podorska (WTA 44th).
The 39-year-old Williams has won four times in Rome, but this year she stopped after the first fight. In the first round, the US tennis player did not have to play.
Williams played the previous game less than three months ago when he lost to Naomi Osaka in the Australian Open Championship semifinals.
Since winning the 2017 Australian Open, which was achieved during her pregnancy, Williams has been stuck on 23 Grand Slam single-player trophies, one less behind Australian tennis player Margaret Court.
