Serena Williams making stunning singles comeback with Wimbledon wild card

· New York Post

Serena Williams’ Wimbledon comeback won’t just be for doubles.

The 44-year-old tennis legend will compete in the ladies’ singles tournament at the All England Club as a wild card, Wimbledon announced on Sunday, marking her first singles action since the 2022 U.S. Open.

Williams is already set to compete in the ladies’ doubles tournament with sister Venus, with the pair receiving a wild-card entry.

A 23-time grand slam winner in singles competition, one shy of Margaret Court’s record, Williams made her comeback to tennis earlier this month in doubles with partner Victoria Mboko at the Queen’s Club tournament.

They won their first match but an Mboko injury ended their tournament prematurely.

Williams then competed with Karolina Muchova at the Berlin Open, where they lost in the first round on Tuesday.

Wimbledon 2026 begins next Monday.
