Venus Celebrates End Of Toughest Injury Layoff

Fit again after the toughest injury layoff of her career, Venus Williams insisted on Saturday that a sixth Wimbledon title is well within her reach despite more than four months off the circuit.

The 30-year-old Williams will play her first match since January at the Eastbourne International grass-court tournament next week after recovering from a hip injury.

She will be joined at the Wimbledon warmup in the southeast of England by younger sister Serena, who hasn’t played since winning a fourth singles title at the All England Club nearly a year ago.

Many players would be happy to simply ease themselves back into competitive action but that attitude isn’t in the Williams sisters’ psyche.
