37-year tennis superstar, Serena Williams, had a tournament to forget at the weekend; as a back injury made her retire from the Rogers Cup final and hand the title to Canadian teenager Bianca Andreescu.

The former world number one has been hoping to pick a title since she returned to the sport in 2018 after giving birth, but after losing to Simona Halep in the Wimbledon final last month, she has now fallen short once again.

The last time, the mother of one retired from a tournament due to injury was way back in 2000, and ironically, it was at the Rogers Cup tournament as well, that year

With her latest injury setback, she would now hope to be fully recovered before the US Open kicks off by August 26th; where she has to fight for a chance to win her 24th Grand Slam.

Meanwhile, the 19-year old Canadian teenager, Bianca Andreescu who is the now the winner of the 2019 Rogers Cup; has by that act, become the first Canadian since 1969 to win the women's single title at Rogers Cup.
