Serena Williams is set to compete in her first singles match at Wimbledon in four years, entering the tournament as a wildcard entrant. Her return to professional tennis, announced on June 1, has already included two doubles events this season.
Williams, 44, will face 20-year-old Australian Maya Joint in the first round on June 30. This marks Joint's second Wimbledon appearance. The match is scheduled to be the third and final match of the day on Centre Court, following two other scheduled matches. It is expected to begin around 12 p.m. ET.
The winner of this first-round match will advance to face either Alexandra Eala or Renata Zarazúa in the second round on July 2.
This Wimbledon appearance marks a significant return for Williams, who has won seven titles at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club between 2002 and 2016. In addition to her singles play, Williams will also reunite with her sister Venus for a doubles wildcard entry later in the week, with their first doubles match slated for July 2.
Fans seeking to watch Williams' matches can do so through live TV streaming services that carry ESPN, which will be broadcasting the Wimbledon matches.
