Resolution criteria

This market resolves to YES if Serena Williams plays in at least one singles match (main draw or qualifying) at the 2026 Wimbledon Championships, scheduled to run from June 29 to July 12, 2026.

• "Playing" is defined as stepping onto the court and participating in at least one official point of a singles match.

• This market resolves to NO if Serena Williams does not play in any singles matches at Wimbledon 2026 (e.g., if she only competes in doubles or mixed doubles, fails to enter, or withdraws prior to playing her first singles match).

• If the 2026 Wimbledon Championships are postponed beyond 2026 or entirely cancelled, this market will resolve to NO.

The official source of truth will be the match results and draws published on the official Wimbledon website or the WTA Tour official website.

Background

In June 2026, 23-time Grand Slam singles champion Serena Williams made a surprise return to competitive tennis at age 44, coming out of a four-year retirement. She began her grass-court comeback playing doubles at the Queen's Club (HSBC Championships) and is scheduled to continue her warm-up schedule in doubles at the Berlin Open.

While there is heavy speculation that Wimbledon organizers may grant her a wildcard, it remains to be seen whether Williams will choose to play in the singles draw or restrict her participation to doubles.
