Serena Williams is back at Wimbledon, which is not exactly a normal sentence to read in 2026.
The seven-time Wimbledon singles champion returns to Centre Court on Tuesday, June 30, for her first professional singles match since the 2022 U.S. Open. Williams, 44, will face 20-year-old Australian Maya Joint in the first round, marking one of the biggest early moments of this year’s tournament before she has even played a point.
Williams last played a Wimbledon singles match in 2022, when she lost in the first round to Harmony Tan. A few months later, she stepped away from tennis after the U.S. Open, describing the move as “evolving” away from the sport rather than retiring in the traditional sense.
Now, after easing back into competition through doubles earlier this month, she is returning to the singles draw at the All England Club. And this time, she has made it clear that the goal is not to recreate the pressure of her prime.
“As of now, I’m not nervous,” Williams said ahead of the match, adding that her expectation is to stay calm, take it easy, and have fun.
Read below for how to watch, match timing, and what to know about Williams’ Wimbledon return.
Where to watch Serena Williams at WimbledonSerena Williams’ first-round match against Maya Joint is airing on ESPN in the United States.
Viewers can also stream Wimbledon coverage through the ESPN app, with individual court streams available through ESPN Unlimited. ESPN coverage is also available through select live TV streaming services that carry the network.
Outside the U.S., Wimbledon coverage varies by country. In the U.K., matches are available across the BBC, including BBC One, BBC Two, BBC iPlayer, and BBC Sport. International viewers can check Wimbledon’s official TV coverage guide for the broadcaster in their region.
What time does Serena Williams play at Wimbledon?Williams is scheduled to play Maya Joint on Tuesday, June 30, as the third match on Centre Court.
Centre Court play begins at 8:30 a.m. ET with Taylor Townsend vs. Iga Świątek, followed by Alexander Blockx vs. Alexander Zverev. Williams vs. Joint will begin after those two matches are finished, so the exact start time depends on how long the earlier matches run.
As of now, the match is expected around midday ET, but Wimbledon scheduling can shift quickly.
Who is Serena Williams playing?Williams will face Maya Joint, a 20-year-old Australian player who turned pro in 2021.
Joint is part of the younger generation that grew up watching Williams dominate tennis, which adds an obvious layer to the matchup. For Williams, it is a return to a court where she has made history. For Joint, it is a first-round match that suddenly became one of the most-watched of the tournament. No pressure.
When was Serena Williams’ last singles match?Williams’ last professional singles match came at the 2022 U.S. Open, where she lost to Ajla Tomljanović in the third round.
Her last Wimbledon singles match came earlier that same year, when she lost to Harmony Tan in the first round. Since then, Williams has had a second child, expanded her business life, and largely moved into a post-tennis chapter before this comeback.
How many times has Serena Williams won Wimbledon?Williams has won seven Wimbledon singles titles, with victories in 2002, 2003, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2015, and 2016.
She has also won six Wimbledon women’s doubles titles with her sister Venus Williams. The sisters are expected to reunite in doubles at Wimbledon later this week.

Of the four single women Mashable spoke to about dating in 2026, three had one thing in common: They're not on dating apps.
Or, at least, they're not active on them.
"I have Hinge," Kayleigh, a 23-year-old dancer living in Brooklyn, told me. "Do I use it, though? No." Kayleigh, like some other daters, opted to go by their first name only for privacy reasons.
SEE ALSO: The best dating apps for serious relationships"I went on one Hinge date, and I was like, 'You're the most boring person I think I've ever met,'" she said. "Haven't been on one since."
None of the four daters I spoke to is thrilled about dating apps, including the one who is active on them. Daters, especially those looking for a long-term partner, are frustrated with the dating apps. That's nothing new, said dating coach Erika Ettin. But it seems the more technology meddles in our love lives, the more disconnected people feel.
"There's never been more apps than we have today. There's never been more choices than today. We're so connected, but so disconnected," Mehak, host of the Love-ly podcast, told me. Love-ly is a podcast about dating, relationships, identity, and culture through the lens of immigrant identity.
Despite the obvious burnout, though, there is hope for dating — including on apps.

The great opt-out of datingIn recent years, relationship and online dating expert Dr. Jess Carbino has seen more people "solomaxxing" or "self-partnering" — aka, staying single.
"This is consistent with larger trends related to loneliness, as well as relational cutoffs altogether," said Carbino, a PhD in sociology, who used to work as a sociologist for Tinder and Bumble. Americans have been reporting increased loneliness since before the COVID lockdowns, and the isolation and change in daily life afterward didn't help. Estrangement from family has also risen in recent years.
SEE ALSO: I haven't had a boyfriend for a decade. Here's what I've learned.Carbino attributes opting out of dating to skepticism and cynicism. Men and women are wary of each other, she says. There's also a trend towards moralization, or the classification of certain behaviors as right or wrong.
But why are young daters skeptical and cynical? Carbino believes that Gen Z hasn't dated before, doesn't know how to do it, and isn't dating as a result of their anxieties, preoccupations with technology, and the precarious financial position they find themselves in.
The socioeconomic status of young people (and older people) definitely hinders dating. Last month, WIRED declared that people can't afford to date, and the New York Times recently reported that rising costs are stopping people from having children, too.
"They're not perceiving themselves or others as being viable options."Young adults are bowing out of marriage and partnership at a younger age "because they don't feel like they have the capacity to do that," Carbino explained. "They're not perceiving themselves or others as being viable options, and I think that's really consistent with demographic data we see in terms of the increased age at first marriage and childbearing."
Between 1980 and 2023, the median age of an American woman when she first marries has increased by 29 percent from 22.0 to 28.4, according to Bowling Green State University.
And then there are the cultural reasons behind going solo. Having a boyfriend has been deemed "embarrassing"; heterosexual women are pessimistic about their options, and they're not afraid to say so on social media. And that doesn't even touch growing political polarization between young men and women.
And daters continue to be frustrated by dating apps — and now AI is added into the mix. For several years now, the most popular dating apps (Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble) have been adding more AI features, such as Tinder's AI matchmaker, Chemistry.
"Nobody is for it," Ettin said of AI. "With it being so hard to make a connection in general these days, the last thing people want is more AI intervention to make it less personal, to make it less human."
Then there are the daters using chatbots to come up with messages for them (if not dating a bot itself). If someone is using AI to swipe and chat for them, "it doesn't bode well for a good partnership if someone's not putting in the work up front," she said.
26-year-old dater Moena, a PR professional, said AI in dating "kind of kills authenticity." As a Bumble user, she's curious about what the app plans on doing with AI in the coming months as it removes the swipe feature. But plenty of users have expressed their discontent with the move to AI online.
Even without AI, though, the disdain towards dating apps has been growing steadily. Looking at financial performance, Hinge has consistently increased direct revenue and paying users, but the same can't be said for Tinder and Bumble. The latter is considering even apparently considering a sale amid declining downloads.
Overwhelm and underwhelmFor Mehak, who's not on apps right now, dating is simultaneously overwhelming and underwhelming.
Dating is simultaneously overwhelming and underwhelming.It's "overwhelming because you know the apps never stop, you're constantly swiping, you're having the same conversation, you're going on first dates that do go somewhere," she explained, "but then they don't go somewhere, but it's also underwhelming, right?"
After awhile, dating all starts to feel the same. She enjoys dating — she loves people and is curious about them — but she's burnt out by the process.
Mehak, who's in her early 30s, said the difference between dating now and ten years ago is the amount of choice. She's also struggling with ambivalence: She wants to find her person, but she can't rush the process.
"I've spent a lot of time trying to answer six-month questions on date two," she said. She asks herself questions like, Do I see a future with them? Is this my person? "As I'm saying this, I just laugh at myself, because I'm like, how would I possibly know?"
And while she sometimes goes out with friends to meet new people, she doesn't enjoy speed dating events, as they feel manufactured.
Kate Sime, who's in her early 50s, said dating apps have removed the human element of dating, and they foster an environment where everyone's disposable. Before she met her ex-husband at 27, she met her boyfriends through friends, at work, or by locking eyes with someone across a bar. But dating doesn't seem to work like that anymore.
Sime also said a lot of singles events in London consist of throwing people in a room and giving them alcohol, so she wants to do something different.
She's launching a business this autumn, Kasalyst, for heterosexual singles 35 and older in London. Kasalyst will host events with activities, be it wine tasting or a dinner party, and pair it with talks to help people through different elements of relationships, such as emotions or finances. She also plans on vetting people to weed out catfishes.
Just looking for hookups"Even at our age, people just want to hook up," Sime said. She and her friends have been on Hinge and Bumble, and when they share stories, they realize they've seen the same men on and off those apps over the past three years.
"They're not actually seriously looking for relationships," she said. What she and her friends discovered is that the men brave enough to hit on them in bars tend to be married, and they're open about the fact that they're having affairs and have no intention of leaving their partners. And when they do leave — or get left — they download the apps right away.
"Women do the work, we do the therapy, we hang out with our girlfriends, we take time out, we heal, we go it alone, we grieve, we do things the right way, whereas men don't bother with that, and they just jump straight into the next relationship," she explained.
What's missing from these conversations? Tinder.
Moena said she's not currently on Tinder (she's on Bumble, Hinge, and Raya instead), due to its hookup reputation — which is exactly what its current CEO, Spencer Rascoff, wants to move away from. The other three aren't on Tinder, either. Tinder does have the largest market share among popular U.S. dating apps, though, according to Business of Apps. Market intelligence firm Sensor Tower also found that Tinder's mobile user base is on average 2.5 times the size of Bumble's.
Is there hope for daters?Despite some young people solomaxxing for now, Carbino believes it's temporary. They're not resigned to being single forever. She'd like people to be more optimistic, "because there are many people out there who are looking and who are eager to meet someone."
And Mehak told Mashable she is optimistic — but she's noticed she gets fulfillment and confidence from her life, not from men's attention. She tries to make sure she pours into other aspects of her life so "dating takes up a very normal amount of space in my brain."
Kayleigh, the dancer, said she often meets people through the dance projects she does. She then knows she has shared interests, and finds it easier to start being friends with someone and seeing where it takes her.
And despite the ire toward dating apps, Ettin believed people would complain if they went away. Meeting someone isn't easy, she said — it takes a lot of time, energy, and sometimes money. A dater's attitude makes a difference.
"The apps aren't keeping people single," she said. "It's how people use them."
Some of Ettin's dating app tips include:
Don't exchange phone numbers until you plan a date, so you don't fall into the pen pal trap.
Treat your initial conversation like a funnel: Start broad and go more narrow. No "how's your day going?" That's boring.
Meeting up sooner rather than later, in case they're a catfish or just a dud.
Carbino also encourages daters not to just drop someone due to imperfections, as "dump him" social media culture might suggest. Never tolerate abusive behavior, but there's a wide gap between a pet peeve or an ick and something truly harmful.
"Many people who have been in romantic partnerships, whether they're heterosexual or not, know that people act in ways that are unattractive at times," she said. "Sometimes your partners are going to do things that you don't like and that are not pleasing to you, but that doesn't mean that they're a bad person."
"Honestly, the imperfections are what's really nice, because that's where you know the growth and introspection happens," she continued.
And if you really don't want to deal with another person's faults — or your own, let's be real — then maybe you should take a break from dating. You can always come back when you're ready. When asked if she had anything else to say about dating in 2026, Kayleigh said, "It's OK to be single."
Lego is basically handing Livies a whole new way to experience Olivia Rodrigo’s universe, brick by brick.
The brand-new Lego Editions Olivia Rodrigo collection delivers five collectible sets inspired by her "Sour," "Guts," and "You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love" eras. The three-time Grammy Award winner is the first musician to receive multiple dedicated Lego sets and the first partner to collaborate on a personalized Lego Botanicals set.
The full Lego Editions Olivia Rodrigo collection officially launches globally on Aug. 1, but fans don’t have to wait to order. Preorders are already live, including Olivia Rodrigo’s Dual Guitar, Olivia Rodrigo’s Concert Moon, and the Lego Botanicals x Olivia Rodrigo Flower Bouquet.

Fans can turn a handle to make the vinyl and moon rotate, open hidden drawers for small keepsakes, and use a built-in holder to display things like concert tickets or Polaroids. It also comes with an Olivia Rodrigo minifigure wearing a glittery black outfit inspired by her stage style, making it feel like a mini concert display for your shelf.

Samsung is preparing a true onslaught of foldable phones this July, and now we've gotten our first detailed look at all of them.
Android Headlines posted the images on Tuesday, and even though these are technically images of cases that will be offered with these phones at launch, some of them do show the phones inside the case.
Perhaps the most interesting in this bunch is Samsung's rumored wide foldable phone. According to the outlet, this phone will actually be called the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8. The successor of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, and it will be positioned as the most advanced foldable phone Samsung has to offer. Finally, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 is the compact, flip-style foldable that follows the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
In the images, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 has a dual camera system on the back, and a punch-hole style selfie camera on the front. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 also has a dual camera on the back, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra comes with a triple rear camera.
The cases on offer include a dark grey one with a kick-stand and aramid fiber-style pattern (this one comes in several color combos), several solid color cases including a white and a purple option, and a couple of joyful ones with cartoon character prints. The options are similar for all phones, though the aramid fiber cases are missing for the Flip phone.

TL;DR: The LG 27GX790B-B 27-inch UltraGear OLED gaming monitor is on sale for $699.99 at Amazon, down from its $999.99 list price.
Opens in a new window Credit: LG LG 27-Inch Ultragear QHD OLED Gaming Monitor $699.99 at AmazonOLED gaming monitors are rarely where you go looking for budget upgrades, but Amazon’s latest LG UltraGear deal gives you a pretty serious price cut on one of the fastest 27-inch screens in LG’s current lineup.
As of June 30, the LG’s 27-inch UltraGear QHD OLED gaming monitor (the 27GX790B-B model) is on sale for only $699.99 at Amazon — with a limited-time deal cutting $300 from its $999.99 list price.
Shipped and sold by Amazon directly (instead of a third-party seller), free delivery is set for July 5 at the time of writing, or as soon as July 2 for Prime members. Amazon also shows a used “Like New” option for $664.99 through Amazon Resale, if you want to save as much as possible. Anyone wanting the new model directly from Amazon will want to stick with the $699.99 listing.
This UltraGear is built around a 27-inch QHD OLED panel with a 2560x1440 resolution, giving you a sharper picture than 1080p without asking your PC to push full 4K. If you’re either new to PC gaming or upgrading from a much older rig, this is a very nice middle ground.
If you’re the type who plays a lot of competitive games, you’ll be a big fan of LG’s Dual Mode: letting you switch between QHD at up to 540Hz or HD at up to 720Hz, depending on whether you care more about sharpness or pure reaction time. Add in the 0.02ms gray-to-gray response time, and games like Counter-Strike 2, Rocket League, Fortnite, and Valorant should feel seriously quick.
The OLED panel should also help with more cinematic games and streaming, with LG listing 335 nits of typical brightness, DisplayHDR True Black 500, UL Verified Perfect Black, and a 1.5M:1 contrast ratio.
That means if you’ll be playing Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced or Grand Theft Auto VI in the future, you’ll be getting richer blacks, stronger contrast, and better detail in darker scenes than you’d expect from a more standard gaming monitor.
For keeping frames extra smooth, the monitor also supports NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. DisplayPort 2.1, dual HDMI 2.1 ports, USB-C, three USB ports, DTS Headphone:X support, and height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustments round out the package — so you have all the versatility you need to complete your new immersive setup and then some.
If you fancy an extra QHD monitor, the 27-inch Odyssey G5 is now only $149.99 at Amazon. As for OLEDs, you can still grab the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 curved gaming monitor for its lowest-ever price.

Landing on Saturday, July 11 (that's 7/11, by the way), Slurpee Day will kick off at participating 7-Eleven, Speedway, and Stripes stores nationwide, with each handing out free small Slurpee drinks to celebrate. If you want to get in on the fun earlier, you can actually score a free large Slurpee drink on July 10 if you make a minimum $20 purchase through the 7NOW delivery app.
There's also a brand new flavor to enjoy this year: Mountain Dew Confetti Chill. If you're curious what that tastes like, 7-Eleven says it "blends bright citrus flavor with notes of sweet vanilla icing, giving fans a zesty lemon cake treat in frozen drink form." It's only available until Aug. 29, so summertime will be your big opportunity to taste this chilly new release. The fun certainly doesn't stop there, though.
Select 7-Eleven and Speedway stores will also be hosting a Slurpee Date experience on Slurpee Day. Whether you're planning to share a Slurpee with a partner or grab one with a friend, this experience will include a photo-op bench, commemorative keepsakes, and limited-edition, bedazzled Slurpee “S” double straws that are "inspired by the brand's diamond anniversary," per the press release.
Romantic, right? Credit: 7-ElevenWhat better way to spend a summer day? Don't miss out on all the fun of Slurpee Day on July 11.

Erling Haaland has been one of the most popular players so far this FIFA World Cup, both on the pitch and off it.
But with the Norwegian striker's Snapchat already going viral, another video recently started doing the rounds that looked set to top all memes that came before it. In the clip, Haaland is sitting in a restaurant at a table by a mirror, eating. He turns to his left, sees himself in the mirror, and appears to give himself a jump scare before quickly going back to his food.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. The viral clip of Haaland eating isn't realJudging by the comments, and the number of shares that clip has had on other platforms, a lot of people seem to think it's real. But as one person pointed out, the footage appears to be an AI edit of this video from TikTok comedy duo Jin Long and Qui Qui.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.That video, in which Jin Long plays a character (you can see multiple examples of him playing the same character on their TikTok page), was uploaded on June 15.
It appears that someone has edited the video — likely using AI — to superimpose Haaland over Long.

Instead of relying on traditional hot plates, this Dyson tool uses high-pressure airflow to straighten hair as it dries, with precisely heated air distributed evenly through strands for a smoother finish.
It's designed to protect hair health, and is engineered to style without extreme heat damage when used in wet-to-dry mode. The airflow is intelligent too, automatically adjusting depending on how you’re using it. For example, it produces a higher airflow when styling and then senses when hair is not between your arms. It then reduces airflow when not in use for a quieter experience.
This Dyson deal is available at Amazon now, but only for a limited time so don't miss out.
