The return of Serena Williams to the tennis court maybe soon.
Williams, 40, hasn’t played a competitive match since an injury forced her to retire from last year’s Wimbledon tournament in the first round.
In an Instagram post the seven-time Wimbledon champion posted “SW and SW19. It’s a date 2022. See you there.” SW19 is the postal code for the section of southwest London which includes Wimbledon. She also posted a picture of her standing on a grass tennis court wearing white sneakers.
Williams has won 23 Grand Slam titles, one shy of the all-time record set by Margaret Smith Court. She has also won four Olympic gold medals.
If Williams does play Wimbledon she would need to receive a wild-card entry, but that is likely a mere formality given her status. Her most recent Wimbledon title was in 2016. She was a finalist in 2018 and 2019. Wimbledon was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic.
