It promises to be a special evening on Centre Court as one of the greatest players of all time steps onto the most iconic venue in the sport.
Seven-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams will play her first singles match since the 2022 US Open as she takes on Australian Maya Joint in the first round.
The 44-year-old played a couple of doubles matches at Queen's Club and in Berlin, but is yet to play a competitive singles match and it will be fascinating to see what level she can produce.
Considering she was unseeded, Serena has arguably been handed a fairly favourable draw against a player who is yet to win a singles match at SW19.
