Serena Williams headlines the Wimbledon order of play on day two of the Championships as the 23-time grand slam champion makes her return to singles after four years away.
Williams, 44, has not played a singles match since the 2022 US Open but will take her comeback to the next level when the wild card steps onto Centre Court to play Australia’s Maya Joint.
After Jack Draper's withdrawal from Wimbledon due to a relapse of his arm injury, denying a first-round blockbuster against Taylor Fritz, British players will be out to claim a first win of the Championships after yesterday’s wipeout.
Defending women’s champion Iga Swiatek will open play on Centre Court, with Amanda Anisimova, Ben Shelton and French Open champion Alexander Zverev the other stars in first-round action on day two.
Here’s the order of play on day one and the tournament schedule
