AI Summary

Serena Williams has been seen honing her skills at Wimbledon as she prepares for her anticipated return to grand slam tennis later this month.

The 44-year-old received a wild card entry into the women's doubles alongside her sister Venus Williams after initiating her comeback at Queen’s Club. On Thursday, Williams shared a video on Instagram showcasing her practice session at Wimbledon’s Aorangi Park courts, accompanied by her daughters Olympia and Adira.

Dressed in the All England Club’s signature all-white attire, Williams appeared relaxed, allowing her eight-year-old daughter Olympia to practice her forehands.

Key highlights include:

  • The sisters have a remarkable history, winning their last of 14 grand slam doubles titles together at Wimbledon a decade ago.
  • They have not competed as a partnership since 2022.
  • Williams made her return to competitive tennis last week, successfully winning her first match at Queen’s alongside Victoria Mboko, although their run was cut short due to an injury.
  • Following this, she competed in Berlin but faced a first-round exit while partnering with Karolina Muchova.

As the grand slam approaches, all eyes remain on Williams and her journey back to the court.
