Serena is making the most of her time in the UK alongside her family, as the Wimbledon championships draw to a close this weekend.
And returning to the court after a year off, she didn’t quite get the comeback she was hoping for – crashing out during her first match.
After being beat by 24-year-old Harmony Tan during the match, Serena was non-committal about her future in Tennis when asked, explaining: ‘That’s a question I can’t answer.
Loving it: Serena explained that her daughter ‘loves’ afternoon tea and ‘cheering for mama’ in the post’s caption
‘I’m just playing for right now and seeing how I feel, take it from there. Who knows where I will pop? There’s definitely lots of motivation to play better and at home (the US Open).
‘Physically I did pretty good. The last couple of points I was really suffering. If you are playing week in week out there’s a bit more match toughness’.
Wimbledon will draw to a close on Sunday 10 July with the Men’s Singles Final.
