Serena Williams is set to play at this year’s Wimbledon after receiving a wildcard for the singles main draw, confirming the news that the 23-time grand slam champion will make a comeback this summer after a year-long absence from the sport.
Williams, who turns 41 in September, has not played at a tournament since the previous Championships 12 months ago but indicated in a post on Instagram on Tuesday that she was set to return. “SW and SW19. It’s a date. 2022, see you there,” the seven-time Wimbledon champion wrote.
