Where & how to watch Serena Williams live in action at Queen's Club Championships 2026?

Tennis legend Serena Williams will make her comeback after nearly four years since retirement.
Considered by many as the greatest ever female tennis player, Serena Williams is all set to return to action, as the grass season kicks off at the Queen’s Club Championships.
The American will feature in the doubles event, partnering alongside 19-year-old tennis sensation Victoria Mboko, who is ranked #9 in singles.
Serena had re-entered the anti-doping pool last year, stirring rumours about her return. While the American had at that time dismissed any such speculations, she is now set to mark her return, saying she hopes to inspire her children and continue her legacy by breaking all barriers at 44 years of age.
Her elder sister, Venus Williams, had also returned to the sport earlier. But Venus’ returns have been modest, having failed to make a significant impact in both singles and doubles.
For a player of Serena’s calibre, the American will be keen to get her level back to where she was at before retiring.
Her returning match is going to be a challenge, as the American-Canadian duo are set to take on the third seeds in Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Erin Routliffe.
