"Getting ready for Wimbledon. Exciting" - Serena Williams hints at Wimbledon return

Serena Williams has signalled her intention to return to action in time for the 2022 Wimbledon as she last played at the 2021 edition.

The 23-time Grand Slam winner has not played competitively since last year’s Wimbledon, with a leg injury keeping her out of last season’s US Open and the first major of 2022 in Australia. After her longtime coach Mouratoglou confirmed the news about him working with Halep, talks about retirement resurfaced. Serena was quick to dispel those rumours during an event with NFL Quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Miami saying:

“We’ve been talking about my comeback. He’s been hyping me up and getting me ready for Wimbledon. Can’t wait. Exciting.”

Since winning her most recent Grand Slam at the Australian Open in 2017, Williams has been beaten in four major finals as she continues her quest to beat Margaret Court’s record of 24. Due to her extended absence, Williams is ranked at 246 in the world.
