Serena Williams should be fit and ready to compete at Wimbledon this year, according to coach Patrick Mouratoglou.

The 23- time grand Slam champion had to withdraw from roland prior to her scheduled last-16 match against Maria Sharapova due to a pectoral muscle injury.

But her coach is confident that the 36-year-old will be fit to go for her eighth title in SW19.

"Within two weeks she should recover and will be able to hit again," Mouratoglou told BBC Radio 5 live.
