The 40-year-old also gave some tips to her audience regarding sinus since she knows how hard it can get sometimes. She suggested taking hot showers and try not to drink cold beverages, especially anything with ice in it, as it could worsen your condition.

Other than that, she suggested using a natural saline spray daily, keeping sinuses moist, daily exercising outdoors to help increase circulation, and getting plenty of rest.

It was really kind of the Wimbledon player to share some tips with her viewers to help deal with sinuses.

Serena Williams took a year-long break before returning suddenly to this year’s Rothesay International Tournament, so some fans are curious if the black marks on her face were the reason for her absence.

The veteran tennis player took a year-long break from tennis after she was inflicted with an injury during her game in 2021.

Williams injured her hamstring after slipping during her tournament at Wimbledon while playing against Aliaksandra Sasnovich and had to leave the game 34 minutes in.

After proper rest and rehab, the star tennis player finally announced her comeback on her Instagram, writing,

“SW at SW19. It’s a date. 2022 See you there.”

According to fans, they had not expected to see the athlete return so soon since they could not find her name listed in the Wimbledon’s list of players, but it was a pleasant surprise to see her playing.
