Serena Williams leaves singles Wimbledon return open

Serena Williams has not ruled out a possible singles appearance at Wimbledon despite not receiving one of the initial seven wild cards for the women's draw. She is confirmed to play doubles alongside sister Venus Williams.

During a post-match press conference in Berlin on June 16, Williams responded to questions about the remaining singles wild card with laughter. "Oh my gosh, there’s still some (wildcards) left? I’d better get to practice," she said. "Would you be interested that I took it? You think I’m ready for singles? That’s the question of the hour, right? I don’t know."

Wimbledon is scheduled to begin on June 29. Williams last played a singles match at the 2022 US Open. She has been confirmed for doubles at the tournament for the first time in a decade after receiving a wild card with Venus.

The 44-year-old recently returned to competition in doubles events. She won one match at the HSBC Championships before losing in the first round of the Berlin Open alongside Karolina Muchova.

Serena Williams' doubles campaign at the Queen's Club ended after partner Victoria Mboko suffered a knee injury. Wimbledon officials have since dropped strong hints about a possible wildcard entry for the 44-year-old. Williams will now team up with Karolina Muchova at the Berlin Ladies Open starting June 15.

Speculation continues around Serena Williams potentially entering the Wimbledon singles draw with one wildcard still available. Doubles specialist Kim Clijsters offered her assessment of the 44-year-old's prospects during a recent podcast appearance.

Serena Williams returned to the court on Tuesday and partnered with Victoria Mboko to defeat the third-seeded pair of Erin Routliffe and Nicole Melichar-Martinez in the first round of the HSBC Championships.

The French Open has announced its 2026 wildcard entries, handing main-draw spots to veterans Stan Wawrinka and Gael Monfils. Venus Williams was not selected for the singles draw but may appear in a commentary role. Several other players received updates on their preparations ahead of qualifying, which begins May 18.
