    Veteran tennis ace Serena Williams has claimed she wants to return to court after the lockdown break caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Tennis, alongside other sports, had been suspended amid the COVID-19. Chatting with her elder sister Venus during an Instagram live workout, Serena expressed her views. Venus, who began posting workouts on Instagram eight weeks ago, invited Serena this week.

    I absolutely love playing, says Serena

    "I really look forward to getting back on the court," the 23-time Grand Slam champion said. "It's what I do best. I absolutely love playing." Tennis is on hiatus until at least mid-July thanks to the pandemic, with the French Open postponed until autumn and Wimbledon canceled for the first time since World War II.

    Serena said she came to see the break as a necessary evil. "I felt like my body needed it, even though I didn't want it," said the 38-year-old. "And now I'm feeling better than ever. I'm feeling more relaxed, more fit. Now I can go out and play real tennis."
