This is why Serena Williams is wearing plasters on her face
After a year, the legendary tennis player Serena Williams is back chasing her 24th Grand Slam title. But why is she wearing face plasters? Here's why...
The seven-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams made her return - chasing her 24th Grand Slam title.
The odds have rarely been so stacked against the great American who can become the first unseeded woman to win Wimbledon.
With her 41st birthday just three months away, Williams hasn't played on tour since limping out of Wimbledon in tears in the first round against Aliaksandra Sasnovich in 2021.
The American star has been frustratingly marooned on 23 Slams since winning a seventh Australian Open in 2017 while pregnant.
She was runner-up at Wimbledon and the US Open in 2018 and 2019 as Margaret Court's all-time record of 24 majors remained out of touch.
"I didn't retire. I just needed to heal physically, and mentally. I had no plans. I just didn't know when I would come back. I didn't know how I would come back," said the 40-year-old on Saturday.
On Tuesday, Williams made her return and everyone has been wondering why the star is wearing face stickers.
According to Times, the face plasters are medical tape designed to help relieve sinus problems.
