London (CNN)<\/cite>Seven-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams appeared to hint that she will make her much-anticipated return to the competition when the tournament begins later this month.<\/p>\n

“SW and SW19,” Williams posted on Instagram on Tuesday. “It’s a date. 2022, see you there.” SW19 is the postcode area in south-west London, which includes Wimbledon among others. <\/p>\n
The social media post showed her wearing white sneakers on a grass pitch.<\/p>\n
Williams has not played competitively since an injury forced her to retire in a first-round match at Wimbledon last year.<\/p>\n
The 23-time Major champion last reached the Wimbledon final in 2019, where she lost to Simona Halep, who now works with Williams’ former trainer Patrick Mouratoglou.<\/p>\n

Widely regarded as the GOAT of women’s tennis, 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams says she is still aiming to beat Margaret Court’s record of 24.<\/p>\n
“I should have been at 30 or 32 (Grand Slam singles title),” Williams told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour earlier this year.<\/p>\n
“I should have had it (the record), really, I’ve had a lot of opportunities to have it. But I do not give up.”<\/p>\n
Forced to miss the Australian Open in January on the advice of her medical team, Williams revealed in December that she was “not where I need to be physically to compete”.<\/p>\n
Wimbledon takes place from June 27th to July 10th at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club.<\/p>\n
