Swiss tennis star Martina Hingis is reportedly making a return to play at Wimbledon for the first time in seven years after being granted a wild card by the All England Club on Wednesday.

The former singles and doubles champion got a wild card for the women's doubles tournament and her partner is Russia's Vera Zvonareva, who is a former doubles winner and singles runner-up.

According to Sport24, the former world number one is a two-time doubles winner at Wimbledon, with Helena Sukova in 1996 and Jana Novotna in 1998, in addition to her singles title in 1997.

Hingis, who returned to the game in July 2013 after a second retirement in 2007, has restricted her outings to doubles and the last time she played at Wimbledon was in 2007, when she last in the third round of the singles, the report added.
