Sports world reacts to Serena Williams news
The last time that we saw 23-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams
play competitive tennis was nearly a year ago at Wimbledon
where she was forced to withdraw from the tournament due to a leg injury.
The all-time tennis great will make return after receiving a wild-card invitation to Wimbledon.
Williams is one of six women given a wild-card spot in the singles draw.
"The stage awaits. Our 7-time champion @serenawilliams will return to Wimbledon
as a wild card this summer for her 21st appearance," Wimbledon announced.
"23-time Grand Slam winner Serena Willams will play at Wimbledon
which has awarded a wild-card invitation," ESPN wrote.
"Serena Williams is BACK, and we're all for it Wimbledon called and the GOAT answered
as she is set to hunt for Grand Slam 24 on a wild-card invite," CPTennis tweeted.
"Serena Williams is 40. Her last completed match was more than a year ago
and there will be 127 women hoping like hell they don't draw her in round one @Wimbledon," Jon Wertheim said.
