Serena Williams set to return to tennis with grass season comeback: Report

Serena Williams, the 23-time Grand Slam champion who retired after the 2022 US Open, is reportedly preparing a comeback by requesting a doubles wildcard at the Queen's Club WTA 500 event in London, set to begin in 11 days, where she would partner 19-year-old Canadian world No. 9 Victoria Mboko. The report, from Jon Wertheim on the 'Served' podcast released May 27, follows Williams quietly re-entering the anti-doping testing pool six to eight months ago, a prerequisite for competitive return. Former world No. 1 Andy Roddick noted that re-entering the doping protocol signals a genuine intent to return to professional tennis.
