Serena Williams β 23 Grand Slams, 4 years away from the game β is on the practice court at Queen's Club right now. At 44 years old. Training alongside 19-year-old World No. 9 Victoria Mboko.
And Mboko's reaction after their sessions? "She's hitting great. She has such clean ball striking."
This is what REAL tennis looks like. Legacy meets next generation. On the same court. On grass. Before Wimbledon.
The GOAT didn't retire. She evolved. π
As a coach, what excites me most isn't the comeback itself β it's what this pairing teaches every junior player watching:
β
Ball striking doesn't age if you train it right
β
Mentorship on court is the fastest classroom
β
Grass rewards discipline & footwork β always
Queen's Club, June 8β14. Don't sleep on this doubles draw. πΎ
Drop a π in the comments if you believe Serena belongs back on that court.
