Serena Williams’s return to tennis will include Grand Slam singles competition.
Williams, 44, has received the final wild-card entry to the women’s singles main draw at Wimbledon, organizers announced Sunday. She has won 23 singles Grand Slam titles, including seven times at Wimbledon.
Before the announcement of Williams’s singles return, it was first confirmed Tuesday that Williams was going to play at Wimbledon. Serena and her sister, Venus, had received wild-card entry to compete in the Grand Slam’s women’s doubles tournament.
The duo has six Wimbledon doubles titles together.
The tournament also announced several other wild cards across men’s and women’s events Tuesday, including seven entries for the women’s singles competition. Six of the spots were given to British players—as is normally the case to increase local participation.
