«Breaking News» Serena Williams makes embarrassing mistake at Australian Open

Having spent a remarkable 319 weeks at No 1 during her career, it's a gaffe that is actually perfectly understandable.

But Serena Williams was still left feeling embarrassed as she accidentally walked out on court ahead of Simona Halep at the Australian Open when the court announcer presented the 'world No 1'.

Romanian tennis star Halep is currently top of the world rankings with American Serena down in 16th place.

Serena Williams suffered an embarrassing gaffe before her game at with Simona Halep at the Australian Open. Hearing the announcement 'world No 1' she walked out to the court

Unfortunately that was meant for her opponent Halep, meaning Williams, the current No 16 in the world, had to perform an embarrassing u-turn

The two players had made the walk from the changing rooms ahead of the fourth round match and were standing together waiting to be introduced onto the Rod Laver Arena.

When the announcer said 'please welcome world No 1', Williams, who was wearing headphones, walked out into the court before remembering her ranking and performing a red-faced U-turn.

Halep, smiling at her opponent's mix-up, walked out and waved to the crowd moments later.

American star Williams, 37, occupied the world No 1 ranking on eight separate occasions between 2002 and 2017 for a total of 319 weeks altogether.

On the sixth occasion, she was top of the charts for 186 consecutive weeks, equalling the record set by Steffi Graf.

Her grand total of 319 puts her behind only Graf and Martina Navratilova in tennis history. 

Williams took a step back from tennis when she had daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr with husband Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, in September 2017.

Obviously Williams slipped down the tennis rankings as she missed a number of tournaments during her maternity leave.

But she has steadily climbed back to a place among the elite of the game following her return to the court last year.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
