Williams, 40, limped out of last year's first-round match at
Wimbledon in tears due to a leg injury.
She also skipped the Olympics in Tokyo and the U.S. Open in 2021
due to the hamstring injury, as well as the Australian Open
earlier this year.
On an Instagram story with NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Serena
said: "We've been talking about my comeback and he's been hyping
me up and getting me ready for Wimbledon. Can't wait!"
When Rodgers asked her about a potential comeback at the U.S.
Open, she added: "Wimbledon's before the U.S. Open, I've got to
play Wimbledon first. Exciting!"
Wimbledon runs from June 27-July 10. Williams has won the
grasscourt major seven times, with her last success coming in
2016.
Earlier on Thursday, her long-time coach Patrick Mouratoglou
revealed he was now working full-time with twice Grand Slam
champion Simona Halep after speaking to Williams.
Williams, who has been on the hunt for an elusive 24th major
since winning her last Grand Slam title at the 2017 Australian
Open, has slipped to 246th in the women's rankings.
She reached the final in four Grand Slams since giving birth to
daughter Olympia in 2017 but lost in straight sets on each
occasion.
