Serena Williams’ tennis comeback: Next tournament, first win, and how to watch

Serena Williams, 44, returned to professional tennis on June 9, 2026, playing women's doubles at the Queen's Club tournament alongside 19-year-old Canadian Victoria Mboko. The pair defeated No. 3 seeds Erin Routliffe and Nicole Melichar-Martinez 7-6(2), 6-2 to reach the quarterfinals, but could not contest that match after Mboko injured her left knee. Williams will next play at the Berlin Open starting June 16, partnering Czech player Karolína Muchová.
