Serena Williams, winner of 23 Grand Slams in her outstanding sports campaign, could play the next edition of the Wimbledon tournament, which will begin on June 27, which would mean his return to the courts twelve months later.
The American, a seven-time winner at the All England Club, suffered a foot injury in the first Wimbledon round in 2021 and did not play again from that moment and even gave few indications about his future.
Serena, 40, posted a photo on Instagram mentioning Wimbledon with the addition that “it’s the date. See you there”. The player tagged the Eastbourne event pictured, suggesting he could play the week before the third Grand Slam of the season.
Serena’s confirmation, yes, does not make it clear if she will participate in the individual, doubles or mixed event. To play the singles draw, Serena would have to use the protected ranking, reserved for long-term injured players, or she would need an invite.
Serena seeks to equal the 24 Grand Slams of the Australian Margaret Court, the one who achieved the most in history and failed twice in her attempt at Wimbledon, when she reached the final in 2018 and 2019, both after her motherhood. The American is 1,208 in the WTA ranking.
