2022 season, the American tennis player has only participated in the Eastbourne Doubles Tournament
So far in the 2022 season, the American tennis player has only participated in the Eastbourne Doubles Tournament, which she had to leave due to the injury of her partner Ons Jabeur. However, she has all her hopes on staying with the London GS.
Serena is considered one of the best tennis players in history, and at 40 years old, she seeks to continue marking the same. This time, the former No. 1 wants to become, along with Margaret Court, the most successful Grand Slam winner with 24 titles.
The former Australian tennis player has many titles in her showcase, where we can find 92 individually and 48 in doubles, the tennis player with the most GS to her name. After winning 11 Australia Open, 5 Roland Garros, 3 Wimbledon, and 5 US Open, Margaret obtained that mark.

Meanwhile, Serena also has many titles and did so in all disciplines: singles, doubles, mixed doubles, and team. As an individual, she accumulates 75 trophies with a partner next to her. There are 23, 2 more eclectic, and another 3 in groups, and we must add four gold medals in the Olympic Games.
Despite everything she has won, the youngest of the Williams will seek to make history again at 40 as she aims to conquer the London tournament to achieve her 24th Grand Slam.

However, it does not seem to be a straightforward task since she was a mother in 2017; she reached the finals in 2018 and 2019, but lost them against Angelique Kerber and Simona Halep, respectively.
In addition, this season, the American has only played two matches as she is recovering from the injury she sustained to her left leg at Wimbledon last year.
Despite being at a disadvantage, we know that the No. 1s have something inside them that makes them different from the rest, allowing them to be surprised no matter the circumstances. So can Selena win her 24th Grand Slam?
