Serena Williams prepares for return under British hitting partner's guidance

David Quayle, a 26-year-old British hitting partner, has joined Serena Williams in preparation for her upcoming return to professional tennis at Queen's. Hired after a secretive call in May, Quayle has spent over a week practicing with Williams in Florida. He will be in her support box as she partners with Victoria Mboko in doubles. Despite weather issues impacting practice on grass, Quayle has helped secure indoor courts for training. His previous experiences include working with top players like Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz and extensive training with Williams in the past.
