Serena Williams Net Worth Affected with 0-3 Loss to Alize Cornet of France; Merciless “Bug” Said to be the Culprit

Serena Williams net worth might decrease due to a Wimbledon loss? In the 1st round of a doubles match with her sister, Venus Williams, Serena Williams appeared a bit disoriented. In fact, sources say that she even looked unsteady while she was warming up against Stefanie Voegle and Kristine Barrois. Williams lost to France's Alize Cornet in the 3rd round. She was asked to retire after playing three games on Tuesday.

A doctor was called to the tennis court, and it appeared like Williams was crying as she remained seated on the changeover bench. She kept her face buried in her hands while the doctor checked her for 10 minutes before she went to the court to play.

Serena Williams net worth of $100 million, said in her statement over two hours after the match was over, "I am heartbroken I'm not able to continue in the tournament. I thought I could rally this morning because I really wanted to compete, but this bug just got the best of me. I want to thank my sister, Kristina, Stefanie, and our teams for their support. We were all looking forward to a great match. From the bottom of my heart, I thank all of the fans for their cheers and understanding. I look forward to returning to Wimbledon next year."

It was highly noticeable during Williams' 3rd game that she was, indeed, unwell, since there were several times when she could not even grip or catch the ball. All of the four services she did were double faults. Moreover, none of them had even registered on the radar gun.

Kader Nouni, the umpire during the match, consulted with the Williams sisters, and it was decided that their tandem would be retiring from the tournament at a score of 0-3. Tracy Austin, US Open champion, told BBC TV, "Strangest 15 minutes I've seen on a tennis court."

Isha Price, half-sister of Williams, is sad about this blow to Serena Williams net worth. She shared that Williams was sad and very emotional about her loss to Cornet. In fact, according to her, Williams has not been eating normally.
