Williams served for the first time before losing four straight games and went 4-0 in the second.
But Tomljanovic remained composed in a partisan atmosphere and took advantage of a fading Williams to take the third set.
Speaking after the match, Tomjanovic told the crowd: “I’m very sad because I love Serena as much as you love her.”
“What she’s done for me for tennis is incredible. She’s the greatest of all time.”
“I don’t think so, but you never know,” Williams said when asked if she thought about coming back after that.
And she kept her word. 19-year-old Canadian star Victoria Mboko will return to the West Kensington turf as she plays for Queens.
Williams’ older sister, Venus, still plays on the WTA Tour and reached the women’s doubles quarterfinals at the 2025 US Open at the age of 45.
“Serena is going to come back and I don’t think she’s going to be satisfied with making the second week,” Tomjanovic said before the American’s return was confirmed.
“I think she’ll even win the last US Open in her mind, so she must be feeling some extra energy.
“Maybe she was inspired by Venus.”
