Warm up: Venus Williams, 43, made sure to get some practice in as she headed down to Aorangi Park courts in London on Wednesday.

The Wimbledon Championships will begin on Monday July 3, with the American tennis player set to make her 24th appearance.

Venus is a five-time Wimbledon singles champion and was a finalist at the grass-court major in 2017, two decades after her debut at the All England Club.

Ranked 697th, Williams beat 48th-ranked Camila Giorgi 7-6 (5), 4-6, 7-6 (6) last week at the Birmingham Classic. It was her first victory over a player in the top 50 in nearly four years.

It comes after Venus lost 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 to second-seeded Jelena Ostapenko on Thursday in the second round of the at the Birmingham Classic, which is serving as a warmup for Wimbledon.

She has just returned after six months out with a hamstring injury sustained in Auckland in the first week of the year.

Williams, who played with strapping around her right knee against Ostapenko, received an off-court medical timeout when at 2-2 in the second set.

She looked uncomfortable when she returned to the grass but continued to play, fighting for every point and even saving a match point at 5-3 before recovering to win four games in a row and take it to a decider.

By the end of a 44-minute third set, Williams´ mobility was limited and Ostapenko sealed victory with a forehand down the line.

A seven-time Grand Slam champion and five-time winner of the Wimbledon singles, Williams was this week granted a wild card by the All England Club for this year´s championships and she has justified it.
