Serena Williams is set to continue her return to professional tennis by playing doubles at the Berlin Tennis Open, organisers announced. Multiple outlets report that the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion will enter the women’s doubles draw at the grass-court event in June, following a near four-year absence from the sport. The Berlin Open is scheduled to begin on June 13. Organisers say Williams’ doubles partner and the date of her first match will be announced later, indicating details of her schedule are still to be confirmed. Coverage across Nigeria, Malaysia, Canada, South Africa, India and the United States agrees on the core point: Berlin is being added as another stop on Williams’ comeback tour, with the competition in doubles rather than singles. The Los Angeles Times also notes that Williams has publicly commented on the progression of her comeback plans, but the reports are consistent that her immediate next event is the Berlin doubles competition. Overall, the announcements focus on her participation and the remaining information to be released about her pairing and match timing.
