Rumors are swirling about a possible return to tennis for the American icon Serena Williams. The speculation centers around a potential doubles appearance with 19-year-old Canadian rising star Victoria Mboko at the Queen's Club Championships in London next month.

While Williams, who last secured a Grand Slam title in 2017, has not officially announced her comeback, her rejoining of the tennis anti-doping testing pool has fueled expectations of her return.
