Former Australian tennis star Nicole Pratt feels Serena Williams wins up to 80 percent of her matches psychologically as she has built a strong reputation and players fear her. Williams, 40, is set to compete at Wimbledon.

Williams hasn’t played since retiring injured her first round match at Wimbledon last year. Williams is 40 and hasn’t played in a year, but Pratt feels the day off between matches could be they key for Williams’ success at The Championships.

“I think it’s possible to play at a very high level, at the age that she is, for a match. Where the issue lies is your recovery. That’s what starts to decrease over time,” Pratt told the Australian Open website.

“But that’s the beauty of the Grand Slams: there’s a day off between matches, weather permitting. (it) allows her that extra recovery time that she needs. Recovery will be an issue, in my opinion. If she has a long match, and let’s say it rains, and she’s got to back up the day after.

That is going to be tough, at that age, no question.”
