Novak Djokovic praised Serena Williams for her “inspirational” and “epic” return to Wimbledon, and thinks the 44-year-old is spending more time in the gym than she did during her “prime” as she builds up to her highly anticipated comeback.
“For her to come back after years of being absent from the tour, two children later, and to give so much effort, not just for her own satisfaction or coming back on the tour, but also to give all of us a pleasure of seeing her back on the court - in singles as well as doubles - is remarkable,” Djokovic, 39, said.
