Serena Williams will make a dramatic return to Wimbledon - a year after playing her last game of tennis.
The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion has been a stranger to the courts since injuring her leg in SW19 during last year’s first round. In her absence, Williams has dropped to 1,208 in the world rankings but today let the cat out of the bag that she will be back to reclaim her crown ahead of the 2022 edition of the grass-court grand slam.
Posting an image on Instagram to her 14.9 million followers showing her trainers on grass, Williams wrote: “SW and SW19. It's a date. 2022, see you there.”
