Two months ago Serena Williams hinted a Wimbledon comeback, but the 23-time Grand Slam winner is missing from the tournament’s 2022 entry list.
On Friday, Wimbledon released the ladies’ singles entry list and Serena Williams’ name is nowhere to be seen. Her 41-year-old sister Venus Williams is also not there.
The last tournament the 40-year-old Serena played was Wimbledon 2021, where she exited in the first round. The American could have entered The Championships using a protected ranking. Now she still has the option to request a wildcard invitation, although it seems less and less likely that she will make a comeback in London.
