Serena Williams Set to Make Much-Anticipated Singles Return on Day 2 at Wimbledon

  • On Tuesday, Serena Williams returns to Wimbledon singles action at age 44, facing 20-year-old Australian Maya Joint in the first round on Centre Court after receiving the tournament's final wildcard.
  • Williams makes her first singles appearance since the 2022 U.S. Open, ending a four-year hiatus after launching her comeback playing doubles at Queen's Club with sister Venus Williams.
  • Facing the 44-year-old is Joint, ranked 87th and on an 11-match losing streak, while Williams told reporters Sunday, "In general, my expectations are definitely different for the first time in my career."
  • The high-profile matchup concludes Tuesday's Centre Court schedule, serving as the main attraction on the tournament's second day following opening contests featuring defending champion Iga Swiatek and Alexander Zverev.
  • Williams' return brings star power to the All England Club, which saw recent withdrawals from Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu, with the American focused on enjoying the tournament experience.
