Serena Williams has criticised tennis' anti-doping whereabouts rules, claiming the system was a major factor in delaying her long-awaited return to professional tennis. The 23-time Grand Slam champion will make her singles comeback at Wimbledon on Tuesday against Australia's Maya Joint. It will be her first singles appearance since stepping away from the sport in 2022.
Williams, now 44, has already returned to competition in doubles at Queen's Club and the Berlin Open. Her encouraging performances convinced her to extend her comeback into singles at Wimbledon. She will also reunite with her sister, Venus Williams, in the women's doubles draw.
