Williams and Ohanian, the co-founder of social news website Reddit, married back in November 2017. The 39-year-old won her last Grand Slam title in the same year, triumphing at the Australian Open following a victory against her sister Venus. 

Since then, Williams has continued to target a record-equalling 24th major trophy, having been knocked out in the fourth round of the French Open earlier this month.

Her next opportunity to do so will come at Wimbledon at the end of June. Williams is a seven-time winner of the English tournament, and grass has long been considered the former world number one’s best surface. The upcoming Grand Slam could be her best chance of making history.
