Is this a comeback or farewell for Williams?
The plan is for the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion to play in the singles at the All England Club.
Williams, 40, has been given a wildcard for the tournament where she has won seven of her major titles. She has not played singles since she retired injured during her first-round match at Wimbledon last year.
The American made her comeback to the WTA Tour at Eastbourne this week, playing in the doubles alongside Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur.
After the pair won their opening match on Tuesday, she said she did not know if this was the start of a longer comeback or a farewell tour.
“You know what, I’m literally taking it one day at a time,” she said.
Dubbed ‘Onsrena’, the team won again on Wednesday before pulling out of their semi-final match, citing a knee injury for Jabeur.
