Australian Maya Joint beats Serena Williams at Wimbledon | ABC NEWS

“When we were in that hallway before we walk out into centre court, that was the craziest moment of my life.”

20-year-old Australian Maya Joint has beaten Serena Williams in the first round of Wimbledon, where the 23-time grand slam winner was playing her first singles match in four years.

Joint said she did not sleep the night before the match and struggled with nerves throughout before winning 6-3, 6-7 (6/8), 6-3 in two hours and 22 minutes.

In the second round Joint will meet Philippines's Alex Eala, who she beat to claim the Eastbourne crown last year.
