Williams vows to rebound

A defiant Serena Williams insists her stunning departure from Wimbledon doesn't herald the end of her reign as the dominant force in women's tennis.

Williams crashed to her earliest exit at Wimbledon in nine years as the world No 1 lost 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 to French 25th seed Alize Cornet in the third round on Saturday.
