Serena Williams has been warned she will struggle at Wimbledon this summer when she makes her highly-anticipated return to tennis action at the Championships this month.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion announced her intention to play the third major of the year as well as this week’s Rothesay International Eastbourne. Williams suffered an injury to her right leg at SW19 in 2021 and was forced to retire in the first round, but she confirmed she has accepted a wild card to return to the All England Club as she seeks an eighth Wimbledon title.
In her absence, Williams has dropped to 1,208 in the world rankings. The American icon will attempt to find form by partnering Ons Jabeur to play doubles at Eastbourne before she once again attempts to draw level with Margaret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slams.
