Serena Williams indicates she will play in this year's Wimbledon

Serena Williams has indicated she will play at this year's Wimbledon in what would be her first match for 12 months.

The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion has not played since injuring her leg in the first round of last year's tournament.

American Williams, 40, has won seven Wimbledon singles titles but is currently ranked 1,208.

She posted an image of her trainers on grass, captioning it: "SW and SW19. It's a date. 2022, see you there."

Wimbledon begins on 27 June.

Williams also tagged Eastbourne - where there is a WTA event in the week before Wimbledon - in the social media post.
