Serena Williams Plans Comeback at WTA Tournament in Berlin

Initially, media had speculated about her participation in the tournament at Queen's Club in London, which begins on June 8. Reports suggest Williams is scheduled to compete in doubles there with Canadian Victoria Mboko.

Mboko was reserved at the French Open and did not want to preempt her potential partner. She said: "I want to leave the moment to her. If she is ready for a comeback, she should announce it."

With 23 Grand Slam titles, Serena Williams is one of the most successful players in tennis history. Only Australia's Margaret Court has more major success with 24 titles.

A Legend Returns

Williams' older sister Venus is still sporadically active on the tour at 45 years old. A comeback by Serena would electrify the tennis world and bring enormous attention to the Berlin tournament.

The organizers in Berlin have not yet officially confirmed the reports. If Williams were to actually compete, the field of participants would be enriched by one of the greatest legends of the sport.

For the tournament in Grunewald, her participation would be a significant prestige gain. The traditional club is preparing for a potential rush of spectators should the tennis icon actually play.
