In stunning tennis news, the great Serena Williams announced on June 1 she is returning to professional tennis.
“Queen’s Club feels like the perfect place to begin this next chapter,” the 44-year-old Williams said in an announcement from the tournament. “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.”
Williams, winner of 23 Grand Slams, will play doubles in the London event. Â
Williams has won 73 career singles titles, four Olympic gold medals and has spent 319 weeks at No. 1 in the WTA rankings. She has won 14 major doubles titles alongside sister Venus and is the only player to record a career Golden Slam in both singles and doubles.
Williams will partner with 19-year-old Canadian Victoria Mboko at Queen’s Club. Williams had won seven majors by the time Mboko was born in August of 2006.
