Serena Williams is set to return to tennis at the Queen’s Club Championships
The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion accepted a wild card for doubles after nearly four years away from competition, officials said.
- On Monday, June 1, Serena Williams announced her return to professional tennis, confirming she will compete in the doubles event at the HSBC Championships at Queen's Club next week.
- Williams sparked comeback speculation after reentering the International Tennis Integrity Agency's anti-doping pool on February 22, fulfilling eligibility requirements despite previously stating she was "evolving away from tennis."
- The 44-year athlete credited GLP-1 medication for 34 lbs weight loss and improved health; she will partner with Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko for the competition starting June 8.
- Tournament director Laura Robson welcomed the 23-time major winner, stating, "Serena Williams is one of the greatest athletes the world has ever seen, and we're delighted that she will be making her return."
- Following the HSBC Championships, Williams may pursue a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title at Wimbledon, marking her first competitive matches in nearly four years after the 2022 US Open.
