Serena Williams is set to return to women’s singles at Wimbledon after receiving a wildcard entry, according to multiple outlets citing the All England Club’s announcement. The 44-year-old, a 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, was previously slated to compete at Wimbledon in doubles with her older sister Venus. Coverage notes that Serena has not played a singles match since the 2022 US Open, making the singles wildcard her first Wimbledon singles main-draw appearance since her last singles outing at that event timeframe. Reporting also links the wildcard to her broader comeback. Several sources say she returned to competition after a long break from professional tennis, beginning with doubles appearances on grass and receiving a Wimbledon doubles wildcard alongside Venus. The All England Club issues the final ladies’ singles wild card shortly before the grass-court Grand Slam begins, with outlets describing the announcement as coming days before the tournament starts. Together, the reports confirm Serena’s participation in both singles and doubles at Wimbledon, with Venus as her doubles partner.
