Serena Williams returned to professional tennis with a victory at Queen’s Club after nearly four years away from the sport. The 44-year-old demonstrated her enduring power during her first competitive match since the 2022 U.S. Open. Partnering with 19-year-old Canadian Victoria Mboko, Williams showcased her formidable skills by delivering service winners clocking at 120 mph.
The duo triumphed over third-seeded Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Erin Routliffe in straight sets, 7-6 (2), 6-2. Williams sealed the match with two aces and a service winner. This marks Williams’ initial step back into professional tennis, as she recently announced her return to doubles. She has not yet disclosed her plans regarding a singles comeback.
