Serena Williams Arrives In Special Outfit Before Wimbledon Return at 44

Serena Williams is back at Wimbledon.

The 44-year-old tennis star has come out of retirement to play at Wimbledon again. Williams will be making her 2026 Grand Slam debut on Tuesday morning, shortly before noon E.T.

How far can she really go?

"I've loved what I've seen so far from her. Coming back with doubles, it was tough to know what to expect. But early on in her return, it was very clear that the ballstriking was still there and her serving spots were also really accurate. After almost four years away, for her to come back and have those two things intact was such a promising sign," Chris Eubanks told ESPN.

Bill Connelly added: "The serve and the swing will never go away. But that certainly wasn't the major concern. Before her (first) retirement, her movement and footwork were primary issues, and while those things were perfectly sufficient in doubles matches, we won't know what we need to know until her first match. All reports from the practice courts have been positive, but we still have to see it."

The legendary Grand Slam champion arrived in a special Wimbledon-themed outfit for Tuesday morning's match.
