LONDON (AP) — Anticipation is building at Wimbledon for Serena Williams’ first singles match in nearly four years.
Serena Williams will play singles at Wimbledon after accepting a wild card invitation. The All England Club made the announcement eight days before the grass-court Grand Slam starts. The move comes after the 44-year-old Williams recently returned to competition in doubles after nearly four years away from professional tennis. And it means that Williams will play both singles and doubles at Wimbledon after already accepting a wild card for the doubles competition with older sister Venus. Serena has won 23 Grand Slam titles in singles including seven at Wimbledon.
