Serena Williams a confirmé le 1er juin qu'elle fera son retour au tennis professionnel après près de quatre ans d'absence. La championne aux 23 titres du Grand Chelem a reçu une invitation pour le tableau de double du Queen’s Club Championships aux côtés de Victoria Mboko.

Williams a fait cette annonce via une vidéo et une déclaration sur les réseaux sociaux. Elle a décrit cet événement sur gazon comme l'endroit idéal pour entamer son retour, citant son riche passé sur cette surface, qui comprend sept titres à Wimbledon et une médaille d'or olympique en 2012.

Ce que les gens disent

Les premières réactions sur X témoignent de l'enthousiasme des fans et des médias, qualifiant Serena de « GOAT » et soulignant le caractère positif pour le tennis, tout en soulevant un certain scepticisme quant au fait que son invitation prive d'autres joueuses d'une place.
