Serena Williams confirms participation in another tournament

Former world number one Serena Williams, 44, has announced she will compete in the doubles tournament in Berlin, which begins on June 15. This adds to her previously confirmed participation in the Queen's Club event.

"Every tournament I add to my calendar is special, and Berlin is no exception. I look forward to playing in front of the German crowd as I continue to build confidence for the grass-court season," Williams stated. She plans to partner with Canadian Victoria Mboko in the Queen's Club tournament, which starts June 8. Her doubles partner for Berlin has not yet been announced.

Williams, who retired from tennis after her third-round loss at the US Open in 2022, has won 73 singles titles in her career, including 23 Grand Slam titles. Media reports have circulated photos of her training with Mboko, fueling speculation that she may also compete at Wimbledon, where she has previously won seven singles titles and six doubles titles.
