The 44-year-old, widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, has not played a competitive match in almost four years. Although Williams never formally announced her retirement, her prolonged absence from the game had fueled speculation that her illustrious playing career had come to an end.
However, signs of a possible comeback emerged late last year when the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion began taking steps toward returning to the court.
Expressing her excitement about the comeback, Williams said Queen’s Club was the ideal venue to mark the beginning of a new phase in her career.
“Queen’s Club feels like the perfect place to begin this next chapter,” Williams said. “Grass has given me some of the most meaningful moments of my career, and I’m excited to be back competing on one of the sport’s most iconic stages.”
Her return is expected to generate significant interest among tennis fans worldwide, with many eager to see the American star back in action on the grass courts that have witnessed some of her greatest achievements.
