Serena Williams Wins Doubles Match in Tennis Return

Serena Williams returned to competitive tennis at the Queen's Club doubles tournament after a four-year hiatus, winning her first match alongside Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko. The duo triumphed over the third-seeded team of Erin Routliff and Nicol Melichar-Martinez with a score of 7-6, 7-2, 6-2.

Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, expressed her excitement about returning to the sport, stating she relished every moment and aimed to have fun. Despite feeling nervous before the match, she managed to perform well, although she noted that grass was not the easiest surface to return on.

Williams is motivated to play in front of her two young daughters, Olympia and Adira, and her husband, Alex Ohanian, who supported her courtside. Following this victory, Williams and Mboko are set to face Leylah Fernandez and Laura Siegemund in the quarter-finals, with Williams also scheduled to compete in the Berlin Open next week, potentially leading to her participation in Wimbledon, where she has won titles seven times.
