Serena Williams Returns to Singles at Wimbledon After Four-Year Retirement

Serena Williams will return to singles competition at Wimbledon four years after her retirement from professional tennis. The 44-year-old player discussed the comeback in an interview conducted before the tournament began.

Williams said she initially intended to return only in doubles alongside her sister Venus Williams. The plan changed when she decided to enter the singles draw instead.

The discussion covered both the surprise nature of the singles return and the earlier doubles concept. Williams addressed questions about timing and motivation for re-entering the professional circuit.

Wimbledon begins its main draw this week with Williams listed among the entrants. Her appearance marks the first singles match for the former world number one since she last competed in 2022.
