Serena\’s Return to Wimbledon
June 27, 2022By: Carlos Alvarez
Serena Williams Returns to All England Club for Wimbledon 2022 Kickoff
Tennis fans can celebrate! The third and (arguably) most notable grand slam of the 2022 calendar starts this morning from the All England Club in London, and one of the sport’s biggest names is back on the lawn. Serena Williams — after a year-long absence — makes her return to the place where she’s won seven of her 23 grand slams. She won’t take the court in Round 1 until Tuesday, and World No. 1 Iga Swiatek is still the star to beat. The top players in the men’s draw — #1 Novak Djokovic and #2 Rafael Nadal — are also ready to go. We’ll have a build-up of Wimbledon coverage over the next two weeks until the finals July 9-10.
The dust has barely settled on the clay-court season, but Wimbledon is here.
