Serena Williams, the former world number one and winner of 23 Grand Slam titles, will return to official competitions at the age of 44, receiving a wildcard for the doubles event at Queen's Club, a grass tournament that will take place this month in London. Williams has not played in a WTA tournament since September 2022, when she ended her professional career after being eliminated in the third round of the US Open.
She stated that Queen's Club is the ideal place for a new beginning, having beautiful memories on grass. Speculation about her return began last year when she was re-entered into the anti-doping program. Serena joins a small group of players who have returned to the circuit after becoming mothers. Additionally, her sister, Venus Williams, continues to play at a professional level, recently participating in the Australian Open.
