Seven-time Wimbledon singles champion Serena Williams will learn her first-round opponent when the draw is held Friday. Williams, 44, accepted a wild-card entry to the grass-court Grand Slam and will also compete in doubles with her older sister Venus, 46.
Tennis Comeback
Williams’ tennis comeback started with two doubles warmup matches but kicked into high gear when the All England Club announced she would play singles. Because she has no ranking, the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion could potentially face a highly ranked player such as defending champion Iga Swiatek or No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.
