Serena Williams\u2019 sensational comeback to tennis has seen the 23-time Grand Slam champion enlist the help of another major winner in the form of Rennae Stubbs.<\/p>\n
Stubbs won six Grand Slams in her career in doubles and mixed doubles and she will now be aiding Williams in her doubles comeback alongside sister Venus Williams at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n
The pair have been awarded a doubles wildcard into the event they have won several times, but rumours are swirling about Serena\u2019s status as a singles star.<\/p>\n
She is yet to play a singles event, instead focusing on doubles at Queen\u2019s and Berlin, but many expect the star to be offered the remaining wildcard at SW19.<\/p>\n
On her podcast, Stubbs responded to the rumours that Williams could also return to Wimbledon as a singles star.<\/p>\n
What Kim Clijsters has noticed after watching Serena Williams practice ahead of Wimbledon<\/a><\/p>\n Serena Williams and Venus Williams have already made a mistake ahead of Wimbledon<\/a><\/p>\n Speaking on The Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast<\/a>, the multi-time Grand Slam champion said: \u201cWhat a treat for the fans. Like, no matter what and how they do, you know, there\u2019s so many people that would never have seen Venus<\/a> and Serena<\/a> play live.<\/p>\n \u201cSo for that fact, I\u2019m just really happy for the tennis public that they get to see again. Look, it\u2019s no secret there\u2019s one left, right? And I\u2019m sure that Wimbledon are hoping that she says yes, but again, Serena makes those decisions and often says, you know, she\u2019ll write us in a text.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, she\u2019s going to make those decisions in the next few days, what she wants to do. And I don\u2019t know. We obviously talked about it. It\u2019s out there, that it\u2019s still available, if she wants to do it or not. And it\u2019s going to be up to her to make that decision.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd she will be supported by all of us either way. If it\u2019s just playing doubles, then it\u2019s just playing doubles. And that\u2019s how she feels. And listen, I have not talked to her about this, but I think that there\u2019s part of her that would love to play singles at Wimbledon<\/a>, but she also is very smart in knowing what she\u2019s capable of. And when she chooses to decide not to play, she\u2019s making that decision based on her own feelings.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I don\u2019t know what the answer to that question is. Nobody does. And so, yeah, I mean, it was news to me how many wildcards were left, and it was news to me that, you know, that it was even asked to her in press.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd so, because there was one left, I\u2019m sure she\u2019s maybe holding those cards a little bit closer to her chest, but that\u2019ll be her decision in the next, I would say, in the next few days. Wimbledon would have to know in the next few days.\u201d<\/p>\n The wildcards for the women\u2019s singles draw at Wimbledon this year are Maja Chwali\u0144ska<\/a>, Harriet Dart<\/a>, Alicia Dudeney, Hannah Klugman, Mika Stojsavljevic, Katie Swan<\/a>, and Mimi Xu, with one left to be announced.<\/p>\n The post Serena Williams\u2019 new coach responds to the rumours she\u2019ll be playing singles at Wimbledon<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Serena Williams\u2019 sensational comeback to tennis has seen the 23-time Grand Slam champion enlist the help of another major winner in the form of Rennae Stubbs.
