Serena Williams will make her long-awaited return to tennis at Wimbledon this year. The 7-time Wimbledon champion confirmed her comeback after receiving a wildcard entry at SW 19. It will be her first singles tournament since getting injured on Center Court last year.

According to former coach Rick Macci, Serena’s return could surprise everyone at Wimbledon. Macci trained the Williams sisters since they were young kids and has seen them turn into legends of the sport.

The Italian has also coached the likes of Maria Sharapova and Andy Roddick in the past. However, Macci believes Serena is different from the rest. In a tweet, Macci said, “If Serena gets a few wins and believes you never know as she is just wired different than the rest of the non goats!”

On Tuesday, Serena took to Instagram, posted a photo of white trainers on grass, and wrote, “SW and SW19. It’s a date. 2022, see you there.”

Williams’ quest for the 24th

Williams has been the most dominant player in women’s tennis over the last two decades. She has not only stayed at the top of the rankings, but also won an astounding 23 Grand Slams. However, she is still one short of Margaret Court’s all-time record.

Despite slipping to 1208 in the rankings, Serena will aim to get a good run on grass to bring her up to match fitness. She last won a Wimbledon title in 2016 and her last Slam win came in 2017 (Australian Open). After returning in 2018, she has come ever so close to equaling the record but has fallen short on every occasion.
