Serena Williams returns to competition at Wimbledon

Serena Williams will compete in the upcoming Wimbledon tournament in the singles category. As announced by organizers on Sunday, the 44-year-old has received the last available wildcard.

Earlier on Tuesday, it was revealed that Serena Williams would return to Wimbledon along with her sister Venus to compete in the doubles category. Now, organizers have confirmed that the winner of 23 Grand Slam titles will also appear in the singles category, which is his favorite discipline, at Wimbledon.

Serena Williams will return to the Major tournament after four years. At the 2022 US Open, she lost in the third round to Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic in three sets and then took a break from professional tennis for a while. On June 9, Serena Williams celebrated her comeback with a match with Canadian tennis player, Victoria Mboko, and then competed in Berlin against Czech tennis player, Karolina Muchova. Despite this, he has not confirmed his participation at Wimbledon in the singles category.

In the past, Williams has won the title at this prestigious tournament seven times. The previous organizers still left open the possibility of who would receive the final wildcard in the singles category. On the X platform, the official Wimbledon account commented on this spectacular comeback with the statement: "This is not a drill". Whether Williams' return will be sportingly successful, we'll have to wait and see. The tournament will start on June 29.
