Serena Williams is back at Wimbledon. She is 44 years old, she has not played a Grand Slam singles match since announcing her retirement in August 2022, and she is a significant betting underdog against her first-round opponent, Maya Joint, a 20-year-old Australian who grew up idolising her. None of that seems to have diminished the public attention her return is generating, which is arguably larger than anything else happening at the All England Club this fortnight.
