You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Serena Williams is coming back to Wimbledon, and she's bringing her sister. The All England Club has handed Serena and Venus a wildcard into the women's doubles, marking the first time the two have teamed up in four years. Serena, now forty-four, played her first competitive match since two thousand twenty-two just last week at Queen's Club, and now the grass of Wimbledon awaits when the Championships open on the twenty-ninth of June.
Shifting to the pitch, Ghana's government is taking Canada to court over the visa denial of midfielder Thomas Partey. Officials have filed for a judicial review of the decision, with a Canadian court set to hear the case. It's a significant diplomatic move, and the outcome could have real implications for Partey's international future heading into a critical stretch for the Black Stars.
And in rugby, Saracens are set to lose another key piece of their England core. Lock Rosie Galligan, a World Cup winner with thirty-one Test caps, will depart the club at season's end. She's currently stepping away from the game ahead of giving birth in October, and her partner Marlie Packer has already made the move to Harlequins, so the Saracens connection is coming undone.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
