It’s been nearly four years since Serena Williams stepped onto a professional tennis court, but now she’s back in action.
On June 1, the 23-time Grand Slam champion revealed her return to the sport. Today, she will compete in the Queen’s Club Championship, teaming up in doubles with newcomer Victoria Mboko.
“Queen’s has provided some of the most memorable moments in my career, and I’m thrilled to play again on such a historic stage,” Williams stated in her announcement about competing at Queen’s.
The duo of Williams and 19-year-old Canadian prospect Mboko will take on New Zealand’s Erin Routliff and Nicole Melichar Martinez from the USA in their opening match at Queen’s Club.
Besides Queen’s, Williams has confirmed her participation in doubles at the upcoming Berlin Open and hasn’t dismissed the idea of returning to singles play.
When will Serena Williams make her comeback?
Today, June 9, marks the debut of Williams and Mboko at Queen’s Club. Their match is expected to begin around 12:30 PM ET, following the conclusion of the previous game.
