Frances Tiafoe has always stated that Serena Williams is one of his childhood heroes. The American player had the opportunity to train with Serena in Eastbourne.
Williams is trying to stage a spectacular comeback for Wimbledon after she got a break that lasted one year. Serena will not compete in singles in Eastbourne but he will partner with Ons Jabeur. The idea is to get used to playing on grass before competing in the Championships.
