After a year-long absence Serena Williams will play Wimbledon.

The 23-time Grand Slam winner, Serena Williams confirmed her return to the tennis court during Wimbledon this year.

She is all set to play at this year's Wimbledon after receiving a wildcard for the singles main draw. 

The Grand Slam champion will return to action after a year out when she competes in the doubles at the Eastbourne International.

Due to a serious injury Serena has not played on the Tour since a first-round exit at Wimbledon last year.

The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) announced that she was one of six women to receive a wildcard for the upcoming Wimbledon.
