It has been a busy schedule for Serena Williams off late. She announced her comeback to tennis during the grass-court season. It was a great moment for her fans, after getting to watch Williams play after almost a year. The 40-year-old made a comeback at the Eastbourne International, playing doubles with Ons Jabeur. However, the duo had to withdraw before the semi-finals due to an injury to Jabeur.

Subsequently, the American legend received a wildcard to participate in Wimbledon Championships. However, her singles comeback didn’t go according to her plans. She went down fighting against Harmony Tan of France in the opening round. Nonetheless, Serena Williams is eager to put on a good show in the upcoming hard-court tournaments.
