She takes on Maya Joint, who has faced a challenging season and has struggled to find momentum. While Williams is returning to her favorite tournament, questions remain about her current form after several years away. Joint is also looking for a breakthrough, having only twice progressed past the opening round this season.

Williams Returns to Her Favorite Stage

Serena Williams returns to the tour for the first time in nearly four years. The last time she played a tour-level singles match was at the 2022 US Open. 

She has already made her return in doubles, playing two events. She reached the quarterfinals at Queen's Club before suffering an opening-round loss in Berlin. 

The seven-time Wimbledon champion finally returns to her favorite hunting ground. She has made 21 previous main-draw appearances at Wimbledon and, apart from her two most recent first-round exits, she cleared the opening-round hurdle in every other appearance.

Joint Looks for Fresh Momentum

Maya Joint is still looking to turn around her grass-court season this week. She played two lead-up events before Wimbledon, with both ending in early losses in Nottingham and Eastbourne. Despite the defeats, her performances were encouraging. 

She has played 13 tournaments this season and cleared the opening-round hurdle only twice, reaching the quarterfinals in Adelaide and the second round of the WTA 125 event in Makarska, highlighting her ongoing struggles this year. 

Joint reached the final in Eastbourne last year, but apart from that run, she has failed to win a main-draw match at any other tour-level event, including on her Wimbledon main-draw debut last year.

Verdict

Maya Joint has looked vulnerable in recent weeks and has struggled to put together wins. Serena Williams returns to the tour for the first time since 2019, bringing plenty of uncertainty about her current level. Given the questions surrounding both players, this has the potential to be a closely contested match.
