Serena Williams already has a schedule for her return to the circuit at Queen's this Tuesday

A few weeks ago, the bombshell was announced that Serena Williams was returning to the WTA circuit, and she chose the WTA Queen's 2026 to make a high-profile comeback alongside Victoria Mboko in the doubles draw, which is great news for the sport. Her debut will be this Tuesday, June 9, against Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Erin Routliffe, the number 3 seed, and the scheduled time for their match at the Andy Murray Court is already set. The match will take place in the fourth and final turn, not before 5:30 PM, an ideal time to see the queen of women's tennis back in action. She has chosen the grass court season to test herself and see if she is ready to transition to the singles draw. In fact, she has preferred to stay calm about that matter, emphasizing that her return is to once again feel the essence of competition, and whatever happens from now on will be improvised on the go.  

Serena Williams is back TOMORROW at the Queen’s Club.

Plays her doubles R1 match alongside Vicky Mboko — 4th at Andy Murray Arena (NB 5.30pm).

It’s a fantastic schedule weather permitting.

The mystery surrounding Serena Williams

For now, they will face a tough challenge in the first round of the WTA Queen's, as Routliffe and Melichar-Martinez are doubles specialists. Especially the Australian, who won the US Open last year. It is also worth noting that the Australian and the American do not usually play together, so even though they are the number three seeds, they will have to adjust to each other just as Serena Williams and Mboko will need to do.

Furthermore, Serena Williams's condition is also a mystery, as she has not competed since the US Open 2022. Four years without stepping on a tennis court, although if anyone can come back in a grand way, it is her. So far, the journalists who have witnessed her training have been impressed, so it would not be surprising if she returns at a high level on Tuesday afternoon. All eyes will be on her.
