After a nearly four-year break, tennis legend Serena Williams makes her highly-anticipated Wimbledon singles return.
Williams, a seven-time winner at the All England Club, will be looking to return to grass-court glory for the first time since 2016. The 44-year-old has made impressive runs in years since though, reaching the singles finals in both 2018 and 2019.
Williams has made a slow and steady return to the tennis world, setting out on a “comeback tour” which included her playing doubles at both the HSBC Championships and Berlin Open. This will be her first singles campaign since the 2022 U.S. Open.
