Serena Williams bekräftade den 1 juni att hon återvänder till professionell tennis efter nästan fyra års uppehåll. Den 23-faldiga Grand Slam-vinnaren har tilldelats ett wildcard till dubbelturneringen vid Queen’s Club Championships tillsammans med Victoria Mboko.

Williams gjorde tillkännagivandet genom en video och ett uttalande på sociala medier. Hon beskrev grästurneringen som den perfekta platsen att inleda sin comeback, med hänvisning till sin starka historik på underlaget som inkluderar sju Wimbledon-titlar och ett olympiskt guld 2012.

Vad folk säger

De första reaktionerna på X visar entusiasm från fans och media, där Serena hyllas som tidernas främsta och återkomsten beskrivs som fantastisk för tennisen, samtidigt som det finns viss skepsis kring att hennes wildcard tar upp platser från andra.
