ENGLAND – Five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams, 43, will begin her 24th appearance at the tournament against 2019 semifinalist Elina Svitolina. Williams has played just five matches this season and Svitolina were given wild cards by the All England Club. Svitolina returned to the tour in April after taking time off to deliver a baby. Whoever wins, could face No. 28 seed Elise Mertens in the second round, followed by a possible matchup against No. 7 Coco Gauff.
