23-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams has been out of the tennis court since Wimbledon last year, where she suffered a hamstring injury.
Since then, the American tennis player has been recovering to make a comeback at the appropriate time. In the meantime, the American has been doing extremely well in the business world. Recently, Serena visited at a Bitcoin conference in Miami, where she met the legendary NFL Quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the backstage. During a conversation with him, she gave her biggest hint so far about her possible return to the tour.

Serena Williams and Aaron Rodgers talk about her possible comeback at Wimbledon
Recording her interaction with Rodgers, Serena said, “Alright, so I am backstage at Bitcoin conference in Miami with Aaron Rodgers here and we’ve been talking about my comeback. He’s been hyping me up, getting me ready for Wimbledon. Can’t wait.”
Rodgers referred to the tennis player as the ‘GOAT.’ However, the Quarterback looked surprised after hearing about Wimbledon, as he mistakenly thought Wimbledon comes after the US Open. He said, “Wimbledon? What about the US Open?”
Later, Serena clarified and told Rodgers, “Yeah, I thought you knew. Wimbledon is before the US Open. I gotta play Wimbledon first (laughs). Exciting.” During the Bitcoin conference in Miami, Serena visited another NFL star Odell Beckham Jr backstage.

Serena suffers a massive blow before her comeback
While Serena looked really excited about her comeback at SW19, her coach Patrick Mouratoglou announced that he will become the full-time coach to Simona Halep. According to the Frenchman’s statement, he really missed coaching for the last eight months owing to Serena’s injury.

If Mouratoglou is coaching Halep going forward, then it appears highly likely that he might not team up with Serena Williams again. Will Serena hire a new coach or will Patrick be in her corner at Wimbledon? We’ll have to wait and see.
