Serena Williams Posts Video Showing She’s ‘Ready’ Ahead of Wimbledon

Seven-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams will return to competitive tennis later this month at the iconic major, a full-year removed from her right leg injury that forced her to retire from the event.

The 40-year-old Williams has not played in a competitive match since her injury, and was tabbed as a wild-card selection for the Grand Slam earlier this week.

Williams posted a video on Instagram displaying her preparation for the event with a simple caption: “Ready.....”

While Williams is widely regarded as the best female tennis player of all-time, the 23-time Grand Slam singles winner has not won at the All England Club since 2016.
