Serena Williams has won seven of her 23 major singles trophies at Wimbledon
Meghan Markle’s close friend Serena Williams has refused to attend Wimbledon 2023 due to pregnancy.
This was disclosed by All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton on Monday.
Bolton said Serena Williams, 41, who bowed out a few weeks earlier at the US Open, had been invited to Wimbledon but was unable to travel.
"We invited Serena similarly this year but as you´ll know she´s
pregnant so understandably couldn´t travel," said Bolton.
"We of
course wish her lots of luck with the remainder of her pregnancy and we hope
maybe we might see her next year."
It is to be mentioned here
that Serena Williams has won seven of her 23 major singles trophies at
Wimbledon.
Williams retired after last season.
