23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams is all set to grace the courts of England. After a year away from the circuit, she has announced her comeback. The American tennis legend will restart her journey with the upcoming grass swing.

Williams has secured multiple achievements under her name. If she lives up to her fans’ expectations and has decent runs in the tournaments ahead, a lot more awaits her. In fact, one prestigious record is just two matches away.

Serena Williams is on her way to sharing Federer and Nadal’s record

The American legend will soon play on the grass courts of Wimbledon, which is one of her most successful tournaments. She has won seven singles and six doubles Grand Slam titles on the greens. Hence, the energy around her comeback is high. Though there is one more reason behind the same. Williams is just two match wins away from engraving her name beside the two biggest ATP players of this generation.

If Williams manages to enter the third round at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, she will join the slam-century club alongside two active players (Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal). Also, she will be the only woman after Martina Navratilova (120 at Wimbledon) and Chris Evert (102 at US Open) to win a sum of hundred matches in a Grand Slam.
