Serena Williams ha confermato il primo giugno che tornerà al tennis professionistico dopo quasi quattro anni di assenza. La campionessa di 23 titoli del Grande Slam ha ricevuto una wildcard per il tabellone di doppio al Queen’s Club Championships insieme a Victoria Mboko.

Williams ha dato l'annuncio tramite un video sui social media e una dichiarazione. Ha descritto l'evento su erba come il luogo ideale per iniziare il suo ritorno, citando la sua solida storia su questa superficie, che include sette titoli a Wimbledon e una medaglia d'oro olimpica nel 2012.

Cosa dice la gente

Le reazioni iniziali su X mostrano entusiasmo da parte di fan e media che definiscono Serena la GOAT e affermano che sia fantastico per il tennis, a cui si affianca un certo scetticismo riguardo al fatto che la sua wildcard sottragga posti ad altri.
