Serena Williams is coming back to tennis at 44, returning to the sport she dominated for decades

Tennis icon Serena Williams has confirmed her return to professional competition at 44 years old, nearly four years after her last match at the 2022 US Open. Williams, who previously described her departure as an "evolution away" from the sport, is set to compete in the doubles draw at the Queen's Club Championships in London, which begins next week.

The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion will partner with Canadian rising star Victoria Mboko, marking a highly anticipated comeback that has generated significant excitement across the tennis world. This move follows months of speculation about her potential return, with many now looking ahead to whether she might pursue further appearances at major tournaments like Wimbledon or the US Open.
