Serena Williams will play singles at Wimbledon after accepting a wild card invitation, the All England Club announced Sunday.
It’s been talked about ever since Serena Williams announced nearly three weeks ago that she was returning to professional tennis after almost four years away from the sport.
Still, seeing the single-sentence announcement from the AELTC that the 23-time Grand Slam champion will play singles at Wimbledon was stunning nonetheless.
“Serena Williams (USA) receives the final ladies’ singles wild card,” read the key line in Sunday’s announcement.
