Serena Williams reportedly is planning a return to professional tennis.<\/p>\n

The Telegraph reported Thursday that Williams, 44, plans to request a wild card to play doubles with Victoria Mboko, 19, of Canada in the Queen\u2019s Club Championships next month in London. The tournament, which begins on June 8, serves as a grass-court tune-up for Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

Williams had great success on the courts at Wimbledon, where she won seven singles titles. She also teamed with her sister, Venus Williams, for six doubles championships in London.<\/p>\n

Serena Williams last played on the WTA Tour in a loss to Ajla Tomljanovic in the third round of the 2022 U.S. Open.<\/p>\n

In her time away from tennis, Williams gave birth to her second daughter in August 2023.<\/p>\n

She reportedly re-entered the registered testing pool for the International Tennis Integrity Agency in December. She has completed the mandatory six-month period in that pool.<\/p>\n

The 23-time Grand Slam champion initially dismissed comeback rumors in December before slightly changing her tune during an appearance on the \u201cToday\u201d show in late January.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just having fun and enjoying my life right now,\u201d Williams said, when asked on the show about a potential comeback. \u201cThat\u2019s not a yes or no. I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m just gonna see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
