UK viewers can watch the match on BBC where coverage is being shown live – either on BBC One, BBC Two or iPlayer.

If Williams wins, she will face either world 32 Sara Sorribes Tormo (Spain) or Christina McHale (US) who is ranked 261.

How many times has Serena Williams won at Wimbledon?

Serena Williams is one of the greatest tennis players of all time, having won more grand slams than any Open Era player – male or female.

She has lifted the Wimbledon trophy seven times in her career, which has spanned for more than 20 years.

The veteran was forced to withdraw from Wimbledon 2021 after suffering a torn hamstring while playing on centre court.

This is her 21st appearance at the London grass court tournament.
