LONDON — Serena Williams will play singles at Wimbledon after accepting a wild card invitation, the All England Club unveiled Sunday.
The move comes after the 44-year-old Williams recently returned to competition in doubles after nearly four years away from professional tennis.

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 Williams.
Serena’s last singles match was a loss to Ajla Tomljanovic in the third round of the 2022 US Open. At the time, she stated she didn’t want to use the word “retiring” and instead declared that she was “evolving” away from tennis.
