Serena Williams gjorde et sensasjonelt comeback på tennisbanen i forrige uke da hun og doublepartner Victoria Mboko vant 1. rundekampen i Queen's Club-turneringen i London. Det var fire år siden sist Williams hadde spilt profftennis.

Den amerikanske tennisstjernen har vunnet hele 23 Grand Slam-titler i karrieren. 44-åringen la opp etter US Open i 2022, men gjorde som nevnt comeback nylig. Venus Williams har vunnet til sammen sju Grand Slam-titler i løpet av sin karriere, der den siste kom i Wimbledon i 2008.
