Ahead of Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic tells Serena Williams her comeback is “truly inspirational.” The 39-year-old Djokovic speaks about the moment during Wimbledon media activities, where he and Williams, 44, meet in southwest London at the All England Lawn Tennis Club. Both outlets describe the exchange as brief and focused: Djokovic frames Williams’ return as a standout achievement, saying her comeback carries “epic” significance and is inspiring.
The reports say Williams is preparing for her first competitive singles match in nearly four years, marking a notable return to top-level singles play at a major tournament. Djokovic’s comments come as both players look toward the start of Wimbledon, with Djokovic and Williams drawing attention not only for their current participation but also for their combined Grand Slam history. Across the coverage, they are credited with a total of 47 Grand Slam singles titles between them.
The accounts agree on the timing—Djokovic’s remarks occur around Wimbledon’s media day—and on the overall message of encouragement directed at Williams’ comeback.
