Serena Williams is returning to competitive professional tennis at 44 after nearly four years away from the sport, multiple outlets report. The news is framed as a confirmed comeback from retirement, with coverage noting that Williams last competed regularly before stepping away for an extended period. Several sources describe the timeline similarly, saying the return follows almost four years away.
Reporting also indicates that her next appearance is expected to be in doubles competition at the Queen’s Club. Additional coverage suggests that further tournaments may follow, including major events such as Wimbledon and the US Open, though exact plans and match entries beyond the initial tournament are not consistently detailed across outlets.
The articles generally agree on the core points: Williams’ age, the fact of her return to pro tennis, and the length of her absence. They also mention that she is resuming the tour after a period away from daily competition, with some commentary speculating on how her schedule could develop toward larger events.
