Serena Williams Makes a Successful Comeback

After a four-year hiatus, Serena Williams celebrated her return to tennis with a win in the first round of the women's doubles at the 2026 Queen's Club Championship. Partnering with Victoria Mboko, the duo faced off against the third-seeded team of Erin Routliffe from New Zealand and Nicole Melichar-Martinez from the USA, securing victory in straight sets. Despite a significant age gap of 25 years, Williams and Mboko demonstrated excellent synergy on the court, triumphing at the Andy Murray Arena in West London with scores of 7-6 (7-2), 6-2. The match lasted just 90 minutes, featuring both teams breaking each other once in the initial set, which Williams and Mboko clinched in a tiebreak. They carried their momentum into the second set, breaking their opponents twice while maintaining their serves without facing any break points.
