But her straight-sets victory over N21 seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on Centre Court means Serena, 34, is highly doubtful to attend the showbiz nuptial, as her semi-final is the following day.

A source said: “Serena is close pals with Ciara and gleefully accepted her offer to be bridesmaid.

“However, Ciara always knew her attendance would be Wimbledon dependent and as she’s one of the favourites, there was a high chance she would not attend.”

Ciara, 30, is tying the knot with NFL star boyfriend Russell Wilson, 27, at the Cheshire venue, despite having no link with the area.
