In an age when athletes just can’t stay away from the sports they love, Serena Williams is the latest in a long line of stars to come out of retirement.
One of the greatest women’s tennis players ever, Williams announced her return to compete alongside Victoria Mboko, Canada’s current No. 1 singles player, at the HSBC Championship at Queen’s Club. Mboko, at just 19 years old, is less than half Williams’ age.
The dynamic duo will face Erin Routliffe and Nicole Melichar-Martinez, two tennis pros ranked among the top 15 doubles players in the world.
The Sporting News is tracking the score, result and highlights from Williams’ first match back on the court.
