Serena Williams' daughters see how hard she's working for Wimbledon return

Williams is returning after nearly four years away, with her daughters present as she takes wild-card spots in singles and doubles.

  • At 44, Serena Williams accepted wild card invitations for both singles and doubles at Wimbledon, which begins Monday, marking her return to professional tennis after nearly four years away alongside sister Venus.
  • Family appears the primary factor behind Williams' return, as she keeps joking that 'it's summer' and 'the kids aren't in school.' Her daughters, eight-year-old Olympia and Adira, who is almost three, have been with her during training.
  • Commentator Christopher Eubanks noted Williams' legacy extends beyond records, saying, 'They will forever know as, 'Oh, you know, mommy is the GOAT of tennis.'' Eubanks observed her family interaction at Queen's Club during recent warmup matches.
  • Williams has been preparing by playing doubles warmup matches, recently showing a serve speed near 120 mph. She hinted at a new trainer on Instagram, joking, 'Rumor has it&I got a new trainer,' while adjusting to grass court play.
  • Eubanks told The Associated Press on Thursday that 'at this point, it's more about family' regarding Williams' Wimbledon appearance. The Williams sisters' influence resonates broadly, having shaped how many professionals approach the game and family dynamics.
