Serena Williams' comeback at the Queen's Club is over after injury to doubles partner
AP News • • sports
Key Points:
- Serena Williams' comeback at the Queen’s Club ended after just one doubles match due to her partner Victoria Mboko's knee injury sustained in a singles match.
- Williams and 19-year-old Mboko had won their first-round doubles match against the third-seeded team but had to withdraw before the quarterfinals.
- Williams is scheduled to play doubles next week at the Berlin Open, with her partner reportedly being Karolina Muchova.
- Serena Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, had previously stated she was "evolving" away from tennis rather than officially retiring.
- The injury correction clarifies that Mboko was hurt in the last 16 round of singles, not the last 32.
