Incidentally, she won the tournament seven times in her career. Also, she won the doubles and mixed doubles tournament multiple times at All Englan Club as well. In 2019, she had a great chance to win her 24th Grand Slam final, as she reached the final at Wimbledon. Unfortunately, Simona Halep stood in her way and denied Serena the opportunity to equal the record for the most number of Grand Slam titles.
Coincidentally, Serena’s coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, parted ways momentarily to become the new coach of Simona Halep. However, that could be a temporary change, as the Frenchman could return to coach Serena during Wimbledon if she manages to return to the tour.
