Your support makes all the difference.Serena Williams makes her long-awaited grand slam return this afternoon as the seven-time Wimbledon champion takes on Harmony Tan on Centre Court today.
It comes 12 months after Williams last played a singles match, which ended in tears when the 23-grand slam champion tore her hamstring in the opening round of last year’s Wimbledon.
The 40-year-old Williams received a shock wildcard for the main draw after she made her return to the court alongside Ons Jabeur in the Eastbourne doubles last week.
Williams received a kind opening draw against French wildcard Tan, who is ranked 115th in the world. “Every match is hard,” Williams said. “Every match. You can’t underestimate anyone or any match any day. Anyone could have been drawn to me.”
Here’s everything you need to know.
