The wildcard pair is scheduled to face No. 3 seeds Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Erin Routliffe. Williams, who last competed at the 2022 US Open, described Queen's Club as "the perfect place" to begin this next chapter. She has been practicing on the grass with Mboko, a top-10 singles player, and expressed excitement about returning, particularly so her daughters can see her play.
The news has generated significant buzz among fans, with many eager to witness the icon's comeback on one of tennis's most prestigious grass-court venues ahead of Wimbledon. Williams has downplayed expectations, noting she has "nothing to prove," while leaving the door open for potential future singles appearances.
