Just two weeks after being forced to withdraw from Wimbledon due to a viral illness, Serena Williams looked back to her radiant self while vacationing in Pula, Croatia.
The 32-year-old tennis champion was spotted on Friday arriving at a private villa with friends and her rumored boyfriend, coach Patrick Mouratoglou. Dressed in a striking bikini with an orange top and red bottoms, Serena topped off the look with a chic wide-brimmed white hat as her curls flowed freely in the Mediterranean breeze.
Clearly recovered from her recent health setback, the sports icon couldn’t stop smiling as she soaked up the sunshine. Later that day, she was seen in Novigrad enjoying a playful stop at a local candy store, leaving with a bag of sweet treats in hand.
Her joyful appearance comes after the dramatic scene at Wimbledon on July 1st, when illness forced her to pull out of a doubles match alongside her sister Venus. Serena admitted afterward that she had wanted to continue but the virus overwhelmed her, while Venus praised her sister’s determination despite not being at full strength.
Now, looking healthy and energized, Serena seems to have fully bounced back—embracing her time off the court with a mix of relaxation, indulgence, and plenty of sunshine.
