Serena Williams will play singles at Wimbledon after accepting a wild card invitation, the All England Club announced Sunday. The move comes after the 44-year-old Williams recently returned to competition in doubles after nearly four years away from professional tennis.
Return to Singles
And it means that Williams will play both singles and doubles at Wimbledon after already accepting a wild card for the doubles competition with older sister Venus. Serena’s last singles match was a loss to Ajla Tomljanovic in the third round of the 2022 U.S. Open.
Williams has won 23 Grand Slam titles in singles, including seven at Wimbledon. She’s also won 14 Grand Slams in doubles, all with Venus, and six of them at Wimbledon. Wimbledon starts in eight days.
