It has been a long time since we last saw Serena Williams play in a tournament. She has had injury struggles in the recent past which have kept her away from tennis for around 10 months now. Her last appearance was at the Wimbledon Championships in June, last year. Serena suffered a hamstring injury and had to retire in the first round of that tournament.
However, determined as ever, the 40-year-old is striving to make a comeback later this year. She is eagerly waiting for her 24th Grand Slam title. If she does so, she will equal Margaret Court’s all-time record of most Grand Slam titles.
