Tennis legend Serena Williams is back at Wimbledon!
Williams is expected to play her first professional singles match after four years. Earlier this month she made her official return to tennis at Queen’s Club playing doubles alongside 19-year-old Victoria Mboko.
Williams has 23 Grand Slam titles, with seven singles titles at Wimbledon. Although her initial return was with doubles — which she is expected to play alongside her sister Venus Williams later this week— she also received a wild card entry for the singles draw.
Fans are ecstatic to see her return to the tennis world. Despite not officially calling her leave a retirement, she has not played at Wimbledon since 2022. Her last Wimbledon win was in 2016, and she currently holds a 98-14 record.

According to ABC News, Williams is expected to play against 20-year-old Maya Joint on Centre Court at 12 p.m. ET. The match will be following a Gentlemen’s Singles match played by Alexander Blockx against Alexander Zverev.
Who is Maya Joint? All About the 20-Year-Old Australian Playing Against Serena:
According to WTA, Maya Joint is currently ranked #87 in singles and #45 in doubles. She started playing tennis in kindergarten because her father, Michael Joint, was a professional squash player. She has won two singles titles and two doubles titles in her career, and has reached a career high singles ranking of #28. She is only 20 years old.
Serena told BBC TV about her preparation going into the match with Joint, “It’s been a very easy retransition. I’m back in the house that I stay in [for] several years,” she revealed.
“It’s nothing too new, and at the same time it’s everything new. Change is good.”
