Serena Williams has confirmed the news that no one wanted to hear: she is injured in the knee. Yesterday, everyone was surprised to see that the GOAT of women's tennis did not attend the press conference after her defeat against Maya Joint in the first round of Wimbledon 2026, and the New York Times reported that it could be due to these physical problems, something that the tennis player herself has taken charge of confirming through a statement on Instagram.

It was wonderful to return to the grass at Wimbledon. I am incredibly grateful for the invitation, and even more grateful that my daughters saw that it is never too late to pursue something you are passionate about. I hurt my knee at the end of the first set, but I will do everything possible to be ready for the doubles match with Venus. Congratulations to Maya Joint for her great match, and thanks to everyone who came and showed me so much love. That feeling will never go out of style.

Serena Williams' participation with her sister Venus at Wimbledon 2026, up in the air

Reading this statement, it is clear that her participation in the doubles draw with her sister Venus is not ruled out yet, so the injury does not seem serious, but the truth is it doesn't look good. After playing the doubles tournaments in Queen's and Berlin with Victoria Mboko and Karolina Muchova, Serena had listened to her daughter and had chosen her sister to try to lift the trophy together at Wimbledon, although now the hopes are much slimmer.

We will have to cross our fingers so that she can at least take to the court, and so that her recovery time after Wimbledon is not too long with the aim of being able to continue gaining experience and playing tournaments this season. At 44 years old, yesterday she set an example of greatness and commitment, as if she got injured in the second set, she was able to win the second set injured and fight until the end in the third, something that only the best do.
