Venus Williams vs Elina Svitolina stay as Wimbledon blockbuster will get underway

The second match of the day is underway on Centre Court at Wimbledon. Venus Williams and Elina Svitolina are each making their return to the All England Club as wildcards and had been drawn to face one another in probably the most anticipated first-round match of the match.

Neither lady has performed within the singles draw right here since 2021. Williams partnered Jamie Murray within the blended doubles 12 months in the past whereas Svitolina was sidelined throughout her being pregnant. The Ukrainian stormed into the second week of the French Open final month, simply weeks into her comeback from giving delivery.

Meanwhile, five-time Wimbledon champion Venus earned her first match win since January as she returned on the grass and downed high 50 star Camila Giorgi in Birmingham.
