Serena Williams will return to Wimbledon’s women’s singles draw at age 44 after accepting a wildcard, multiple outlets report. The decision is framed as a comeback to singles competition at the Grand Slam, with Williams already confirmed for Wimbledon doubles as well, having accepted a separate wildcard to play doubles with older sister Venus. Several reports describe Williams’ return as a major milestone in her later-career stage, noting she is a former multi-Grand Slam champion. One outlet adds that the move also places her in pursuit of Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles. Other sources focus on the confirmation that her wildcard entry places her in the singles draw, without expanding on the record-chasing angle. Across coverage, the common point is that Williams is granted a wildcard to compete in women’s singles at Wimbledon at 44, and she is additionally set to play doubles with Venus at the same tournament.
