While Williams has been sidelined, first Ash Barty and then Iga Swiatek stepped into the opening left by her extended absence. The 40-year-old American has won seven of her singles trophies at Wimbledon, the first in 2002 and most recently in 2016. Williams has not competed anywhere since getting injured during the first set of her first-round match at the All England Club in 2021. That is why she was not automatically placed in the Wimbledon field. LONDON — Serena Williams is going to play at Wimbledon, after all. In 2021, Williams lost her footing on the slick grass and then her right leg buckled, leading to just the second mid-match retirement at any Grand Slam tournament of her career and first since 1998.

That’s how much Williams is worth, according to Forbes’ calculations, thanks to her $94 million in career winnings on the court, endorsements and investments. Williams’ $45.3 million in earnings last year placed her No. 33 on Forbes’ “World’s Highest Paid Athletes” list. Serena Williams will play Wimbledon beginning later this month, the 40-year-old announced in an Instagram post Tuesday morning, her first tournament in a year as she remains one victory shy of the all-time Grand Slam singles record.

Serena Williams Plans to Play in Wimbledon (The New York Times)

Williams hasn't competed since she was injured during the first round of Wimbledon last year.

She has not competed since last August in Chicago and is not on the initial list of Wimbledon wild cards. Ashleigh Barty went on to win the Wimbledon title and then reaffirmed herself as the No. 1 player by winning the Australian Open in January ,only to retire unexpectedly in March at age 25. Williams has both despite her long absence from the tour. Serena Williams is No. 1,208, which explains why she required a wild card to gain entry to Wimbledon. But if she does indeed return to the All England Club, it will be her 21st appearance at Wimbledon, where she has won seven singles titles and seven doubles titles, six of the doubles titles with her older sister Venus Williams. Rennae Stubbs, a coach and former player who is an ESPN tennis analyst, said Williams’s comeback was particularly noteworthy given her exit from Wimbledon last year, in which she limped off the court in tears.

Serena Williams invitée à Wimbledon - TVA Sports (TVA Sports)

Serena Williams, qui n'a plus joué depuis son abandon l'an dernier au premier tour de Wimbledon, a reçu une invitation pour participer à la prochaine ...

Elle y avait encore atteint la finale en 2018 et 2019 sans jamais parvenir à remporter ce 24e titre majeur qui lui aurait permis d'égaler le record de Margaret Court. Depuis, pour avoir des nouvelles, c'est sur les réseaux sociaux qu'il fallait les chercher: Serena chez elle avec sa fille, aux défilés de mode ou encore récemment au Grand Prix de F1 de Miami... L'Américaine de 40 ans, qui a remporté 7 fois le titre sur le gazon londonien, est retombée à la 1.208e place mondiale. L'entraîneur français avait annoncé le 7 avril que Serena Williams, qu'il accompagnait depuis 2012 (avec durant cette période 10 tournois du Grand Chelem supplémentaires au palmarès de l'Américaine) mais qui ne jouait plus en compétition depuis des mois, lui avait laissé une «porte ouverte» pour qu'il travaille avec quelqu'un d'autre «au moins à court terme». En juillet 2021, c'est blessée à une cuisse et contrainte à l'abandon au premier tour face à la Bélarusse Aliaksandra Sasnovich (100e mondiale) que la reine Serena (alors 8e à la WTA) avait quitté le Central du prestigieux club londonien. Serena Williams, qui n'a plus joué depuis son abandon l'an dernier au premier tour de Wimbledon, a reçu une invitation (wild card) pour participer à la prochaine édition du tournoi londonien, ont annoncé mardi les organisateurs.

Serena Williams granted wildcard into Wimbledon singles draw (The Guardian)

Serena Williams has revealed she will be at Wimbledon, posting 'SW19. It's a date. See you there' on social media after a year out of the game.

Since she did not apply for a protected ranking before Wimbledon, she did not appear on the entry list and she required a wildcard to enter the event. As Williams failed to appear on entry lists throughout the season, there was ample uncertainty about whether she would ever return to the sport. She was most a producer along with her sisters, Venus and Isha, for the Oscar-nominated film King Richard. In an Instagram post on Tuesday, she announced her return by including a picture of her trainers and ankle braces on grass with her tennis bag in the background. “I am excited to return to the Rothesay International Eastbourne in England and to be back on the grass. In the meantime, her ranking has fallen to 1,208.

Et son nom ne figurait pas sur la liste des inscriptions du simple féminin publiée par le tournoi du Grand Chelem sur gazon plus tôt ce mois-ci. Le All England Club doit annoncer, mercredi, les noms des joueurs et joueuses bénéficiant d’invitations des organisateurs. En 2021, Williams a glissé sur l’herbe, se blessant à la jambe droite, ce qui l’a obligée à son deuxième abandon seulement pendant un match dans n’importe quel tournoi du Grand Chelem et le premier depuis 1998.

Le dernier titre de Serena Williams à Londres remonte à 2016, mais elle avait atteint la finale en 2018 et 2019. Il n’est pas certain non plus qu’elle s’aligne en simple. «SW (pour Serena Williams, NDLR) et SW 19 (le code postal de Wimbledon). C’est un rendez-vous ! On se voit là-bas», a écrit, sous une photo de ses chaussures de tennis sur le gazon, l’ancienne N.1 mondiale, âgée de 40 ans.
