LONDON: Serena Williams marked her return to competitive tennis with a straight-sets doubles win at Queen's Club on Tuesday, saying she had so much fun after stepping back onto court for the first time since the 2022 US Open.
Four years after what had appeared to be the end of her career, the 44-year-old American teamed up with Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko to defeat third seeds Erin Routliffe and Nicole Melichar-Martinez 7-6 (7/2), 6-2 in the opening round of the grass-court event. Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, had surprised many by announcing last week that she would play doubles at Queen's Club.
Speaking after the match, Williams said she had felt nervous shortly before the contest but chose to focus on enjoying the occasion.
