Evonne Goolagong Cawley: Nearly four years after stepping away from professional tennis, Serena Williams is ready to make a remarkable return to the WTA Tour. She will restart her career at Queen's Club, a pre-Wimbledon tournament, adding a new chapter to one of the greatest stories in sports history.

The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, who retired in 2022, will return to competition as a mother of two daughters — Olympia, born in 2017, and Adira, born in 2023. Her comeback has generated excitement throughout the tennis world, with many seeing it as another groundbreaking moment in a career that has repeatedly changed the landscape of the sport.

“Serena is one of the greatest athletes of all time, with a legacy that goes far beyond the court,” said Valerie Camillo, Chair of the WTA.
