Serena Williams hinted at playing this year's Wimbledon event with a social media post that had the "SW and SW19. It's a date. 2022, see you there" caption.

Serena's last official match came about a year ago when exactly at Wimbledon. The 23-time Grand Slam champion injured her leg in the first round and will return to attempt to make history once more and add to her seven singles titles at the All England Lawn & Tennis Club.

She posted an image of her trainers on grass with the caption: "SW and SW19. It's a date. 2022, see you there." With Eastbourne also tagged indicating that the legendary American could yet make her return in a warm-up as well.

Serena was presumed to be missing the event alongside her sister Venus as neither appeared in the entry list of the event. In order to play, she would have had to use her protected ranking exception but it seems like she will receive a wild card instead.
