Serena Williams wins first tennis match in 4 years as family supports her return in stands


Serena Williams made her long-awaited return to professional tennis on June 9 at the Queen’s Club Championship in London, nearly four years after her last match. 


Partnering with Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko, the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion won her doubles match against Erin Routliffe and Nicole Melichar-Martinez in straight sets. 


Dressed in pink Nike gear, Williams was greeted with loud cheers from the crowd, with her husband Alexis Ohanian and daughters Olympia and Adira watching proudly from the stands.


Williams impressed with her powerful play, including a 113 mph ace, and appeared to relish every moment back on court. 


The Queen’s Club event, often seen as a Wimbledon warm-up, is the first of at least two tournaments on her schedule, with another doubles appearance planned at the Berlin Tennis Open on June 15. 


While her partner for Berlin has not yet been announced, Williams hinted she may consider singles matches if her training progresses, saying she “can’t say no right now.”


Since stepping away from tennis after the 2022 U.S. Open, Williams has focused on family, fitness, and new pursuits. 


She emphasized that her return is not about proving anything, noting she has already achieved more than most players in their careers. 


For her, the comeback is about joy and gratitude rather than wins and losses, as she continues to balance motherhood with her enduring love for the sport.
