Serena Williams and Maya Joint meet on Tuesday at Wimbledon. Here’s a Joint vs Serena Prediction. This article will include a Joint vs Serena pick.
Serena Betting Preview
Serena recently returned from retirement and eased back into things by playing two doubles matches. Serena will play her first singles match since the 2022 US Open, nearly four years ago. At 44 years old and with limited reps under her belt, she’s really an unknown entering this tournament. In her doubles matches, Serena showed flashes of that elite-level serve and played comfortably at the net, but singles play is a completely different ball game. We won’t know what to expect until she takes the court.
Serena hasn’t played in Wimbledon since 2022, and she hasn’t made it out of the first round in this tournament since 2019. Of course, Serena is a seven-time winner of this event, so she can’t be completely written off. It’s just nice to see the GOAT back on the court.
Joint Betting Preview
Joint has played three grass matches this season, but two of those matches resulted in losses to Emiliana Arango and Yuliia Starodubtseva. In her most recent match, Joint won 50 percent of her service points and 39 percent of her return points. It’s been a struggle for Joint, who hasn’t won on the main tour since Adelaide back in January. When you combine all events, Joint has lost 13 of her last 14 matches. It’s tough to expect Joint to find her form in grand slam play, where she’s lost 7 of her 9 matches. This will be Joint’s second match at Wimbledon.
Now, Joint was a top-30 player back in February, so let’s not act as if we can just overlook her. Joint won Eastbourne last year, so there’s history on this surface as well. Still, you can argue that Joint is in the worst form of any player in the field.

There’s no match history between Serena and Joint.
Joint vs Serena Prediction
Joint is getting the benefit of the doubt because she obviously has consistent reps this season. Serena hasn’t played a singles match in nearly four years. However, Serena is the best tennis player of all time, and even at her age and the layoff, for her, tennis is like riding a bike for others. She can work her way into form faster than others. Also, I’m not laying juice with Joint, who has lost 13 of her last 14 competitive matches and hasn’t won on the main tour in six months. Serena honestly couldn’t have asked for a better draw, and I have to lean toward the plus money. Serena wins her first Wimbledon match since 2019.
