Serena gets Wimbledon wild card, to return to Tour at Eastbourne

Serena Williams has not played competitive tennis since limping out of last year's first-round match at the grasscourt major.Serena Williams will resume her quest for an elusive 24th Grand Slam singles title at this month's Wimbledon after making her long-awaited return to the Tour when she competes in doubles at the Eastbourne International.

The 40-year-old has slipped down the rankings to 1208th and needed a wild card from the All England Lawn Tennis Club , which organises Wimbledon, to compete in the main draw of women's singles. “SW and SW19. It's a date. 2022 See you there,” Williams wrote on Instagram on Tuesday, referring to the postcode of the AELTC which hosts Wimbledon.Britain's Lawn Tennis Association said the pairing of Williams, who has also won 14 Grand Slam doubles titles, and Jabeur are not likely to play their first match before Tuesday in the WTA 250 tournament.

“Eastbourne has a unique charm that you don't see anywhere else on Tour and I'm looking forward to playing in front of the fans again.”
