Even Serena Williams was getting in the Wimbledon groove on Monday – and she was nowhere near the London grass courts. As the first day’s play got underway, she posted a video clip on Instagram of her pounding backhands on a clay court despite being absent from the tour since winning the Australian Open in January as she is expecting her first child.
From the video which Serena has posted, it doesn’t look like the greatest tennis player in the world has missed a step. Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time she’s showed her workouts on Instagram but it makes sense that she has tennis on the mind. Wimbledon-the third Grand Slam of 2017 started from Monday and Serena last won the tournament in 2016.
“Wimbledon got me like: Easy standing drills this morning. Go easy,” she wrote in a caption. And from the look of it, she might just win in 2018, too. But until then, she’s happy to show off her skills online.
Interestingly, her coach Patrick Mouratoglou told Reuters at the French Open last month that Serena was still hitting and working out to keep her touch. Even though she has been out of action for nearly six months, she has also still been making in news. Last week, she took to Twitter and asked tennis legend John McEnroe for ‘respect’ after he said that Serena would be ranked ‘like 700 in the world’ if she played in the men’s circuit. Earlier, Serena posted her maternity photos on her Instagram account.
