Serena Williams has the tennis world on edge, waiting for her final decision on Wimbledon 2026, where rumors suggest she may compete in the singles draw as well as the doubles alongside her sister Venus Williams. Rick Macci, her former coach, is confident that she will play both events and will set audience records.

After being inactive for almost four years, Serena Williams returned at the WTA Queen's 2026 with Victoria Mboko to compete in the doubles draw, showcasing a high level of play. However, the young Canadian tennis player got injured in the singles draw and had to withdraw from the tournament. The following week, the female tennis GOAT played in Berlin with Karolina Muchova, but she lost in the first round, resulting in one win and one loss since her comeback.

Nevertheless, Williams has kept her participation in the Wimbledon singles draw uncertain, while Macci hinted on social media about what will happen with his former protege. "Serena will play singles at Wimbledon. I have a feeling that the tennis queen will make an appearance on Center Court and will break TV audience records," stated Rick, who believes that the American tennis player will deliver a remarkable performance at the All England Club.

Can Serena Williams break audience records at Wimbledon?

It was evident at the Queen's tournament with a packed stadium witnessing the tennis queen's return, so the atmosphere at Wimbledon could be even more magical. Serena has won the tournament 14 times: 7 in singles, 6 in doubles, and 1 in mixed doubles. She is the third most decorated tennis player at the event after Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova, making her achievements potentially historic.

However, the highest TV ratings at Wimbledon have always been during the finals, making it challenging for Serena Williams to break these records unless she reaches the latter stages. The most-watched match in history was the 1980 final between Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe, attracting 17.3 million viewers, so she faces a tough task if Rick's prediction comes true.

It will still take a few days to know if Serena will ultimately receive the wildcard for the tournament's main draw, but unless there is a surprise, one thing is clear - the GOAT is back to stay, and to boost the WTA circuit that needed her comeback to enhance its media appeal and come closer to the ATP circuit, which currently has a significant lead in social media engagement, something that could change with Serena's return.
