Serena Williams is set to play her first competitive tennis match in nearly four years. The 23-time Grand Slam winner, now 44, will compete in the doubles draw at the HSBC Championship at Queens Club in London next week.
Williams last appeared at the 2022 U.S. Open. She confirmed the return today through a short Nike video and team statements. She is expected to pair with Canada’s Victoria Mboko after requesting a wildcard for the event.
