Tennis legend, Serena Williams, is set to make a sensational return to the sport.
The 44-year-old will play in next week’s HSBC Championships at Queen’s Club.
Williams has not played professional tennis since losing to Ajla Tomljanovic in the 2022 US Open third round, although she branded her departure as “evolving away” from the sport rather than a retirement.
She had shut down rumours about a comeback as recently as December, but has been confirmed as a wild-card entry for the women’s doubles at Queen’s, and is expected to partner rising Canadian star Victoria Mboko.
“Queen’s Club feels like the perfect place to begin this next chapter,” said Williams.
“Grass has given me some of the most meaningful moments of my career, and I’m excited to be back competing on one of the sport’s most iconic stages.”
