When is Serena Williams playing at Wimbledon and who will she face?

The former world no1 is taking two bites of the cherry after being handed spots in both the singles and doubles competitions.

Williams has seven Wimbledon singles titles to her name plus six in the doubles, and last won both a decade ago in 2016.

But she’s back to to sprinkle some stardust across SW19, and fans will not have to wait long to her in action.

Serena Williams was handed a wildcard to play the singles competition, and kicks off her tilt at the title against unseeded Australian Maya Joint.

The pair will face off on Tuesday, June 30, which is day two of the 2016 championships.

No3 seed Iga Swiatek is first up, starting the defence of her Wimbledon crown against the unseeded Taylor Townsend. Jack Draper was then set to play no6 seed Taylor Fritz, but Williams and Joint will likely to moved up.

An estimated start time for Williams vs Joint is 2.30pm BST, but that is subject to change.

Serena Williams will also be in doubles action this week, as she reunited with sister Venus Williams.

The pair won all six of their doubles titles together, and will return to SW19 on Thursday, July 2, which is day four of the 2026 championships.

Their opponents will be South American duo Solana Sierra and Camila Osorio, who are competing together in the main draw at Wimbledon for the first time.

A start time for the match is yet to be confirmed.
