Serena Williams intends striking back at Wimbledon

The 30 years old American and five times former world no.1 Serena Williams, who has been away from the tennis scene last year, is aiming to play the women's single title of Wimbledon this year.

Well like Roger Federer, she has dreams too. At a time when Russian Maria Sharapova, recently crowned at Roland Garros is eyeing the Wimbledon title to take revenge from the reining champion  Petra Kvitova, dreaming of the title by Serena makes things complicated - but can she do it?

Serena's first time ever exit from the first round of a Grand Slam at Roland Garros this year was a major setback at the hands of 111th-ranked Virginie Razzano of France 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3. Though Serena fought brilliantly and was  two points away from winning nine times, she failed to move to the second round.

William also lost in the Australian Open and could not go beyond the fourth round. She also lost in the quarterfinals of Miami. However she was able to win at Madrid defeating the world no.1, Victoria Azarenka, 6–1, 6–3, in the final. Her lower back injury sprang up at Rome in the semifinals and withdrew before her match against Chinese Li Na.

But despite the odds, Serena is determined. "I have no intention of stopping, and I don't think Venus does either. We're definitely connected at the hip," the 30-year-old Williams said Saturday, two days before Wimbledon began Monday today. "I enjoy being out there on the court so much."

Now at 30 she is eyeing the coveted Venus Rosewater Dish, the same way almost 31 years old Roger Federer is eyeing to lift the men's single silverware trophy.

In the presence of much younger and in-form players like defending champion Petra Kvitova and the world no.1 Roland Garros queen Maria Sharapova, would she be able to hold the Venus Rosewater Dish? Let us start following Serena in her matches at Wimbledon and see if she can.... 


But remember she is the most recent player, male or female, to have held all four Grand Slam singles titles simultaneously and only the fifth woman in history to do so.
