Serena Williams returns to doubles tennis at HSBC Championships

Serena Williams is set to make her first official appearance on the tennis court in nearly four years this Tuesday at the HSBC Championships at Queen’s Club in London. The 23-time Grand Slam champion will partner with Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko in doubles, facing the No. 3-seeded team of Erin Routliffe and Nicole Melichar-Martinez. Williams previously stepped away from the sport after the 2022 U.S. Open, citing a desire to evolve away from tennis. She expressed her motivation to return is centered on her daughters, noting she doesn't need to win, as she has achieved significant success already. Following this event, she may also compete at the Berlin Open later this month and hinted at a possible wildcard request for Wimbledon.
