Serena Williams, holder of 23 Grand Slam titles, returns to the tennis court at 44 years old, playing doubles at Queen's alongside Victoria Mboko.

Serena Williams, the legendary American tennis player, will return to the court at 44 years old, participating in the doubles tournament at Queen's, scheduled between June 8-14. Williams, who retired in September 2022, has requested a wild-card to play alongside young Canadian Victoria Mboko, 19 years old, ranked 9th in the WTA. Although she did not request a wild-card for singles, Serena plans to also play in the tournament in Berlin and at Wimbledon, alongside her sister, Venus. Mboko recently had a notable performance, defeating Romanian Jaqueline Cristian in the semifinals of the tournament in Strasbourg. With nearly 95 million dollars earned in prize money, Serena Williams remains the highest-paid player in the history of women's tennis.
