Tennis legend Venus Williams secured her first win over a top 50 opponent in four years on Monday, as she beat Camila Giorgi in the first round of the Rothesay Classic.
The 43-year-old returned to action last week after being sideined with a hamstring injury, and Williams could be plotting an unlikely Wimbledon comeback. Williams lost her first game back to 17-year-old Celine Naef in the first round at S-Hertogenbosch last week, but recorded a shock win over Giorgio in a three-set thriller.
Williams wanted to play at the Australian Open earlier this year, but had to delay her return until June. Due to currently being ranked No. 697 the six-time Wimbledon champion will have to secure a wildcard, but Williams could make an unexpected appearance when the competition starts on July 3.
