Hints dropped of Venus Williams' return in time for grass court season

Former World No.1 Venus Williams has been away from the tennis courts due to injury, but fans may now have an idea of when the WTA icon returns to the tour.

Williams sustained a hamstring injury early this year in Adelaide and missed the Australian Open. The 42-year old has been out of action since, missing all of the clay-court season and will not participate at the upcoming Roland Garros tournament.

However, her return may be on the horizon as she dropped a photo on her Instagram stories. The picture depicted a racket lying against the net on a grass tennis court. This could indicate that the seven-time Grand Slam champion is targeting a return during the grass season, with hopes of competing at what could be her final Wimbledon event.
