Serena Williams spotted in telling move after Wimbledon 'disgrace'
Serena Williams has taken advantage of Wimbledon's decision to allow players to practice on Centre Court at the All England Club this year.
Wimbledon organisers have gone against 145 years of tradition in 2022 in allowing players to practice on the main courts at the grass-court grand slam for the first time ever.
Practicing on the main courts at Wimbledon has always been off-limits, with organisers desperate to keep the surface in good condition for the two weeks of the tournament.
However that all changed this year, with organisers desperate to avoid a repeat of last year's farcical scenes in which a number of players were injured after falling on the slippery grass.
Williams, a seven-time champion at the All England Club, will be playing her first singles match since her tearful, injury-enforced withdrawal last year.
The 40-year-old played two doubles matches with Ons Jabeur in Eastbourne last week, but is yet to return to singles action.
