Serena Williams Joins Berlin Open Ahead of Wimbledon

Serena Williams has confirmed her participation in the Berlin Open, which is scheduled to start on June 15, as part of her comeback ahead of Wimbledon. She will partner with 16-year-old Canadian player Victoria Mboko in the doubles event.

Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam winner, last competed on the court at the US Open in 2022, marking an emotional departure from professional tennis. As she prepares for her return, she is also entering back onto the anti-doping program required for professional tennis players.

The former world No. 1 is excited to return to grass courts, and this tournament is significant as she gathers momentum for her comeback. Williams aims to compete in singles Grand Slam matches again, including Wimbledon, where she seeks to add to her titles, needing one more to tie with Margaret Court's record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles.

The question remains whether she will participate in singles or doubles events.
