Serena Williams’ tennis comeback ends early with injury heartbreak at Queen’s

Serena Williams' doubles comeback at Queen's Club ended prematurely on June 12, 2026, after her 19-year-old partner Victoria Mboko withdrew with a left knee injury sustained during a singles match against Karolina Pliskova on Wednesday. As a result, their scheduled doubles match against Leylah Fernandez and Laura Siegemund was forfeited, with Fernandez and Siegemund advancing to the semi-finals via walkover. The 44-year-old Williams will now shift focus to the Berlin Tennis Open, though she has not yet announced a new doubles partner.
