Tennis legend Serena Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam singles winner, made a comeback after a year on court after winning the women’s doubles match at Wimbledon’s practice tournament Eastbourne. When Serena stepped on the court, the audience stood up and greeted her. After an hour and a half, the audience celebrated his victory.
Serena, along with her partner Ons Jabur of Tunisia, made a comeback after losing the first set in the women’s doubles to beat Spain’s Sara Soribes Tormo and Czech Republic’s Marie Buzkova 2-6, 6-3, 13-11 .
The 40-year-old, who won a wild card entry at Wimbledon, would get at least one more competitive match with the win. Wimbledon starts on Monday (June 27). Last year, Serena played in this grass court tournament for the last time. Former world number one Serena’s current ranking in singles is currently 1204.
