After a long interval, Serena Williams finally returned to the court. The 40-year-old took the court in the Wimbledon championship 2022. However, she crashed out of the tournament after a first-round loss. Playing against Harmony Tan of France, Serena wasn’t looking at her best. Even though she gave it her all, the 40-year-old ended up on the losing side.
