Good news to all Serena Williams fans as she…

Tennis champ Serena Williams has won Wimbledon seven times, but hasn’t played tennis professionally since she withdrew from Wimbledon last year following a leg injury in her first round match.

Serena Williams will be back at Wimbledon this year, she appeared announced on Thursday.

In a since-expired Instagram Story video, the 23-time grand slam champion told Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers that she’ll be once again playing the world’s oldest tennis competition this summer — in a move that would mark her return to the sport.

“We’ve been talking about my comeback, and he’s been hyping me up and getting me ready for Wimbledon,” Williams, 40, told her followers, of Rodgers, 38. “Can’t wait!”

She went on to clarify to Rodgers that “Wimbledon’s before the US Open” when he asked why she wouldn’t be participating in this year’s event. “I’ve got to play Wimbledon first,” she said, hinting at an Open return too. “Exciting!”

“She’s back,” Rodgers said at the end of the video, pointing to Williams.

A rep for Williams did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
