Serena Williams, 44, is making a return to singles tennis at Wimbledon in 2026, marking her first appearance in the event since 2022. She is set to face Australia's Maya Joint in the opening round. This comeback has drawn attention from former players, including Johanna Konta, who described the situation as 'really intriguing' and highlighted what she sees as a 'big question' surrounding Williams' ability to compete at the highest level after such a long break.

Williams is also expected to participate in the doubles competition, adding to the anticipation around her return. Meanwhile, British player Jack Draper has confirmed that Andy Murray has joined his coaching team for the tournament, a move that has generated additional interest on the British side of the draw.
