‘They’re Not Getting Any Younger’ – British Tennis Legend Tim Henman Urges Roger Federer and Serena Williams to Comeback One Last Time

Roger Federer and Serena Williams have been among the most decorated players in tennis. Over the last two decades, they have enthralled tennis fans with their scintillating performances on the tennis court. The two have garnered fans worldwide, becoming icons of the sport.

Recently, Williams and Federer have been sidelined from tennis due to their respective injuries. They last played at Wimbledon Championships in 2021. Subsequently, the American legend suffered a hamstring injury while Federer’s troubles continued with his knee problems. As a result, fans have missed witnessing these two legends on the court for close to a year now. Recently, former World Number 4 Tim Henman urged them to make a comeback soon.

Earlier this month, the governing bodies of tennis decided to strip Wimbledon of ranking points for this year’s tournament. This decision was taken as a result of Wimbledon’s ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes. Thus, even if Federer and Serena participate at Wimbledon this year, they’ll lose the ranking points earned last season.
