Serena Williams looks set to return to Wimbledon this year after an apparent slip-up from the tournament’s social media team.
A decade on from her last triumph at SW19, the 44-year-old may be back at the grass court Grand Slam in just a matter of weeks.
The 23-time major winner made her long-awaited return to tennis this week when she played doubles alongside Victoria Mboko at Queen’s Club.
That comeback was cut short on Thursday after Mboko withdrew from the tournament due to a knee injury.
Serena is set to continue her grass court schedule next week in Berlin, where the veteran is reportedly primed to play alongside Karolina Muchova.
