"Can we get a round of applause for this chick"- Serena Williams' former coach Rennae Stubbs reacts to Jennifer Brady's comeback

Serena Williams' former coach and television commentator Rennae Stubbs recently reacted to American tennis player Jennifer Brady's comeback to the sport after a long absence. Brady made her return this week in Granby, Canada, in the ITF W100 event.

Brady has been out of the game for nearly two years due to a knee injury. She last faced Jelena Ostapenko in August 2021 at the Cincinnati Masters.

Just as the 2021 Australian Open finalist was about to make her comeback earlier this year, another foot ailment set her back, delaying her return. As a result, she was unable to compete in Roland Garros or Wimbledon.

Former tennis player Rennae Stubbs recently posted on social media, expressing her joy at Jennifer Brady's long-awaited return.

In the video, Brady can be seen competing in Granby, Canada. She defeated Japan's Kyoka Okamura 6-2, 6-3 in the first round.

"Thanks to everyone for your support during my time away. It really meant a lot and helped me keep going and get me back to competing again," she said.
