Serena Williams and Grigor Dimitrov Gear Up For Wimbledon
Serena Williams has signed up for both singles and doubles at Wimbledon. She will begin her singles campaign against Australia’s Maya Joint on Tuesday. Williams will then team up with her sister Venus for a women’s doubles showdown against Solana Sierra and Camila Osorio.
Dimitrov is also looking to make a mark this year after suffering a fourth-round heartbreak last year against Jannik Sinner. The Bulgarian led Sinner by two sets to love, but was forced to retire after injuring his right pectoral.
