Martina Navratilova has stated that she believes Serena Williams has a great chance of winning Wimbledon in 2021.
The tennis legend was part of the broadcast for the Rome Masters and during that she spoke about Serena Williams and her recent struggles. On the loss in Rome she said:
“You need more match play. Serena had not played since the Australian Open. As you get older you need to pair your schedule down and play a little bit less but she’s just not played enough and that shows up.”
It was the first match for Serena since the Australian Open and it was not a very good one. She lost in straight sets to Podoroska but Navratilova is not worried saying:
“Her game is fine, her movement is as good as it’s been the last ten years. But, when you have to put it all together under pressure, if you haven’t been under pressure enough you will not be able to do it."
Navratilova also gave her opinion on the two upcoming Grand Slams which are major objectives for Serena as she continues to chase records. Martina said:
“Very little chance at Roland Garros, very good chance at Wimbledon." For Navratilova, the decision to go to Parma is a sensible one because in her opinion Serena just needs more matches.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!!

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
