The move comes after the 44-year-old Williams recently returned to competition in doubles after nearly four years away from professional tennis.<\/span><\/p>\n

It means that Williams will play both singles and doubles at Wimbledon after already accepting a wild card for the doubles competition with her older sister, Venus.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThis is not a drill,\u201d Wimbledon said on its social media accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Serena\u2019s last singles match was a loss to Ajla Tomljanovic in the third round of the 2022 US Open. At the time, she said she didn\u2019t want to use the word \u201cretiring\u201d and instead declared that she was \u201cevolving\u201d away from tennis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Serena has won 23 Grand Slam titles in singles, including seven at Wimbledon. She\u2019s also won 14 Grand Slams in doubles, all with Venus, and six of them at Wimbledon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wimbledon starts in eight days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Serena won a doubles match with partner Victoria Mboko at Queen\u2019s Club last week but then the pair had to withdraw after Mboko injured her knee in a singles match.<\/span><\/p>\n

In another doubles match at the Berlin Open on Tuesday, Serena and partner Karolina Muchova were beaten by Giuliana Olmos and Erin Routliffe.<\/span><\/p>\n
