Serena Williams is making another major tennis comeback.
The tennis star, 44, is set to compete in the 2026 ladies' singles at Wimbledon as a wild card, the tournament announced on its official Instagram account on Sunday, June 21.
"This is not a drill," Wimbledon captioned the post, which featured a photo of Serena on a grass court alongside the words, "Serena Returns."
The news comes less than a week after the announcement that Serena would reunite with her former doubles partner, sister Venus Williams, 46, to play at Wimbledon, also as wild cards, when the tournament begins on June 29.
Wimbledon's Instagram account shared the news alongside a photo of the sisters on the court together, writing, "Back together, at Wimbledon."
On June 9, Serena restarted her doubles career at the Queen's Club Championship in London after nearly four years away from professional tennis. She and her partner, Canada's Victoria Mboko, defeated Erin Routliffe of New Zealand and American Nicole Melichar-Martinez in straight sets, 7-6, 6-2.
Two days later, on June 11, the team was forced to withdraw after Mboko sustained a right knee injury.
On June 16, Serena competed in doubles at the Berlin Open in Germany. She and partner Karolina Muchova were defeated in the first round, losing in straight sets to Routliffe and Giuliana Olmos, 6-4, 6-4.
