- Serena Williams , the 23-time Grand Slam champion, will make a singles comeback at Wimbledon at the age of 44 after receiving the final wildcard spot for the tournament.
- This marks her return to singles play since the 2022 US Open, where she indicated she was 'evolving away' from tennis, and her first Wimbledon singles appearance since a first-round loss in 2022.
- Prior to this announcement, Williams had already confirmed she would be competing in the doubles tournament alongside her sister Venus, with whom she shares six Wimbledon doubles titles.
- Williams recently made her return to competitive tennis by playing doubles at Queen's and Berlin, winning her first-round match at Queen's before an injury to her partner forced her withdrawal.
- The Williams sisters, with a combined age of 90, are scheduled to play their first-round doubles match at Wimbledon on either 2 or 3 July.
