Serena Williams, who has not played since retiring last year in the first round of Wimbledon, has received an invitation to participate in the next edition of the London tournament, from June 27 to July 10, organizers announced on Tuesday.
The 40-year-old American, who has won the title 7 times on the London turf, fell to 1208th place in the world. He hinted this morning that he intends to play for the All England Club this season.
The youngest of the Williams siblings will previously play doubles in the Eastbourne grass tournament, which is linked to the Tunisian Ons Jabeur (4th in the world in singles), according to the organizers of this preparatory tournament at Wimbledon.
I was so excited to be back [à Eastbourne] in England and to get back to the lawn, a surface that has served me well during my careersaid the American in a press release from the English Tennis Federation.
