Stubbs took to her Instagram account to share an old video that was posted by Wimbledon on their official Instagram account. It was a throwback video of a match that was played in 2009 in the ladies’ doubles final. That year, the Australian double pair defeated the Williams sisters and picked up the trophy. She shared that video and wrote, “Sammy, wish we were all still doing this! I mean @VenusWilliams is! @Wimbledon I can’t wait to be back!”?
