This landmark moment builds\u00a0on last year\u2019s successful return of\u00a0tour-level women\u2019s tennis\u00a0to London for the first time in over 50 years. In 2025\u00a062,000 spectators\u00a0witnessed\u00a0some of the best players in the world compete for the WTA title, one of the highest attendances at a standalone WTA event anywhere on tour.\u00a0The event also pays the second highest prize money for a WTA 500 event anywhere in the world,\u00a0with a 35% increase this year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

WTA Tournament Director Laura Robson said:\u00a0\u201cSerena Williams is one of the greatest athletes the world has ever seen,\u00a0and\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0delighted that she will be making her return to tennis at the LTA’s HSBC Championships. Women\u2019s tennis made a historic return to The Queen\u2019s Club last year, and now we have an icon of the game stepping back on to court at this prestigious venue –\u00a0it’s\u00a0very exciting\u00a0for the tournament and the fans.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
