Teaser / Tailpiece story
Tennis legend Serena Williams is set to make her return to competitive tennis after almost four years away from the sport.
The 23 time Grand Slam champion will compete in the doubles event at the HSBC Championships at Queen's Club in London next week after receiving a wildcard entry.
The 44 year old has not played a professional match since the 2022 US Open and is expected to partner rising Canadian star Victoria Mboko. Williams' return has generated excitement among tennis fans ahead of the grass court season and could pave the way for further appearances later this year.
Tennis Hall of Fame coach and Williams' former mentor Rick Macci says he is not surprised by her comeback.
