LONDON (AP) — Serena Williams is returning to the tour after nearly a year off because of various health issues.
Williams will play at a grass-court tournament in England, then defend her title at Wimbledon, which begins June 20.
Williams has not played an official match since winning her 13th Grand Slam title at the All England Club last July.
A few days after that victory, Williams cut her foot on glass at a restaurant. She wound up having two operations because of that and later was treated for a blood clot in her lung.
