Serena Williams makes singles comeback at Wimbledon

Serena Williams, 44, is returning to singles competition at Wimbledon after a four‑year hiatus. The former world No. 1 accepted a wild‑card entry from the All England Club and will also partner with sister Venus in the women's doubles draw. Wimbledon begins on June 29.

Williams, a 23‑time Grand Slam singles champion and seven‑time Wimbledon title holder, announced her comeback amid family motivation, noting the influence of her daughters Olympia (8) and Adira (3). She played two warm‑up doubles matches at Queen’s Club and praised her fitness, though experts highlighted the challenge of deceleration and movement on grass. The comeback is being closely watched as a high‑profile return to elite tennis.
