WTA hypes the wildcard return of Serena
The WTA hype machine hit full power on Monday with the announcement that Serena Williams will mount a comeback to tennis three months shy of her 45th birthday.
While nothing is official, the 23-time Grand Slam winner who left the court in 2022 to concentrate on motherhood and business initiatives, will receive a wild card into doubles at next week’s Queen’s club event in London.
The American with 73 singles titles from an 18-year career walked away from the game after a third -round loss at the 2022 US Open to Ajla Tomljanovic.
Queen’s officials have yet to confirm the wild card entry or a partner for Williams.
