Serena Williams and her little admirer

Serena Williams has a massive fan base and is well-known all over the world as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. The 40-year-old has set numerous milestones over her successful career, which has spanned two decades. Aside from winning championships, the great tennis player has inspired many young girls to take up the sport.

A four-year-old girl from Tigray, Ethiopia, is a Serena Williams admirer. Serena, named after the renowned tennis player, never stopped dreaming, even while her country was in peril. Northern Ethiopia’s situation is normally tranquil, yet it is unpredictable. Some areas in Tigray are still experiencing problems as a result of the ongoing internal turmoil. Despite the fact that the man-made disaster is already wreaking havoc on the locals, a 4-year-old city girl has not given up on her ambition. Like her idol Serena Williams, the youngster wishes to be a professional tennis player.

“I want to be a professional tennis player when I grow up. I want to be just like Serena Williams and win as many games.” She said.

Serena Williams to return to singles competition at the Wimbledon this year

Serena Williams’ last singles match came at Wimbledon so will be her next one. The 23-time Grand Slam champion shared a photo of immaculate white tennis shoes with lush grass beneath foot on Tuesday morning, coupled with an unexpected caption: “SW and SW19. It’s a date. 2022 See you there.”

There was little indication that the 40-year-old would return in time for Wimbledon, or even at all this season. But, a year after taking a sad crash on Centre Court in her first-round match against Aliaksandra Sasnovich and injuring her ankle, the American is almost guaranteed to return to tennis’ grandest stage. She’ll also compete in Eastbourne the week before Wimbledon, but only in the doubles bracket with Ons Jabeur.
