Overview
- Wimbledon organisers announced on June 16 that the All England Club awarded a women's doubles wildcard to Serena and Venus Williams, reuniting the pair at SW19.
- Serena began her comeback with a doubles win at the Queen’s Club warm-up event, but that partnership ended when 19‑year‑old Victoria Mboko suffered a left‑knee MCL injury that rules her out of the grass season.
- Serena then partnered Karolína Muchová at the Berlin Tennis Open and lost in the first round, marking her most recent competitive match before Wimbledon.
- Neither sister appears on the initial list of women's singles wildcards and Wimbledon has left one women's singles wildcard unannounced, so Serena’s potential singles entry remains unresolved.
- The wildcard reunites one of tennis’s most successful pairs—14 Grand Slam doubles titles together, including six Wimbledon crowns—and guarantees a high‑profile narrative for the tournament while offering fans a low‑pressure view of Serena’s return.
