Serena Williams’ sensational return to tennis is in full swing as she has arrived on the practice courts of Queen’s ahead of her first match.

Williams is set to play doubles alongside Victoria Mboko at the London event, marking her first professional tennis match since the 2022 US Open.

The American icon has also been confirmed to play in Berlin ahead of Wimbledon, with many expecting the star to receive a wildcard to the grass court Grand Slam.

However, after her first practice session at Queen’s, many fans have shared their concern for Williams’ level ahead of her first match with Mboko.

Williams hit the court at Queen’s and the LTA uploaded the entire session to YouTube for fans to get a glimpse of the 23-time Grand Slam champion.

Many fans were worried about what they saw, highlighting Williams’ movement as a real cause for concern before her professional return.

“She has plenty of power in her strokes and serve, but the true test will come from how well she moves in actual competition,” said one fan in the comments.

Another wrote: “The power is most definitely still there but Iam worried about the movement,” while one said: “The backhand doesn’t look good.”

Others questioned whether she is ready for a singles run, with rumours abounding about the star entering the main draw at Wimbledon.

“She should do well in doubles but will need to improve on movement for singles,” said another in the comments.

“We didn’t really see Serena move too much here,” said one concerned fan. “Obviously her ability to get in and out of the corners effectively will be a huge factor in singles.”

Another said: “Serena’s movement isn’t very good but that doesn’t matter for doubles,” while one simply concluded: “She is definitely not ready.”

Others outlined other key issues with Williams after watching the near-hour long practice session with Mboko and Grand Slam icon Rennae Stubbs.

“I’m happy to see her back but it will be difficult for her to go across the court for hours in a match because her fitness is not where it was years ago. Her strength will be important as her speed is reduced,” said one fan.

“This hitting session was not impressive to me,” concluded another. “She looks low energy, slow, and not particularly sharp. Hardly moving her feet, hitting off her back leg most of the time. I would expect her to look sharp and ready to go for a comeback, but this did not look good in my opinion.”

The Queen’s doubles event is set to begin on June 8th, so fans will be able to see if there’s concerns are valid upon the star’s return.

World No 15 Marta Kostyuk has spoken after her crushing defeat to Mirra Andreeva in the semi-finals at the 2026 French Open.

The Ukrainian star, who was playing in her first-ever Grand Slam semi-final, was dismantled 6-1, 6-3 by world No 8 Andreeva on Court Philippe-Chatrier.

Kostyuk hit 15 winners and committed 34 unforced errors as she lost serve five times and broke her 19-year-old Russian rival just once.

The 23-year-old stunned four-time Roland Garros champion Iga Swiatek 7-5, 6-1 in the fourth round in Paris before beating Ukrainian compatriot Elina Svitolina 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 in the last eight.

In her post-match press conference, Kostyuk was asked if she put too much pressure on herself before facing Andreeva.

“For me, usually when I go on court, I don’t feel nervous, I don’t feel more pressure. Maybe before the match, obviously everyone feels more nervous,” Kostyuk explained.

“I would say, I don’t care who’s at the other side of the net, I just go out and play the match. Everything that could go her way went her way. Everything that could not go my way didn’t go my way.

“So, it’s just the type of day. I take it, I had enough tough days, bad days, to know that they end. It’s not the worst thing in the world to lose a match, wherever the stage is.

“First time playing semi-finals… obviously, I have that experience for next time I’m in semi-finals. Maybe I’m going to feel better, different. I don’t know.

“Obviously, not the greatest match from me today, but I don’t think about it that much.”

Kostyuk, who won her two previous matches with Andreeva in straight sets, was then asked if the Russian’s level surprised her.

“I think that this court suits her best of all the tournaments that exist, and I never played her here,” she replied.

“Seeing her record since she’s been 15 or 16 years old playing here, I saw that her record here is 16-3. I came into this tournament being like 4-7.

“So clearly not my best court. It really suits her game. The wind helped a lot today. I didn’t start the best, but it happens. Everyone wins, everyone loses. It’s part of the game. At the end of the day, it’s just a game.

“Yeah, she played good today. She played solid, she wasn’t missing. I was missing more, obviously felt pressure. She was serving much better today.

“I couldn’t do a lot because the court is crazy slow, and she was retrieving all the balls, so I felt like I had to go for more. Obviously that’s what was making me make more mistakes. That’s it.”

Andreeva could face fellow Russian Diana Shnaider in the championship match in Paris.

Asked how she would feel if it was an all-Russian final, Kostyuk replied: “I don’t care… I mean, I don’t care (smiles).”

Mirra Andreeva’s impressive run at Roland Garros continued with a dominant victory over Marta Kostyuk in the Grand Slam semi-final.

The Russian star is enjoying her best-ever run at a Grand Slam and she will now await the winner of Diana Shnaider or Maja Chwalińska in Paris.

Andreeva produced a special performance to defeat Kostyuk by a scoreline of 6-1, 6-3 to confirm her place in the first Grand Slam final of her career.

The conditions have been tough at Roland Garros in the last few days, with blustery winds striking Philippe-Chatrier for the quarters and semis.

Sabalenka was unhappy the roof wasn’t closed for her Roland Garros match, while the clash between Andreeva and Kostyuk saw the roof closed during the second set.

It was a controversial move, with Chris Evert and CoCo Vandeweghe questioning the decision from Roland Garros, and now Andreeva has shared her view.

Asked in her post-match press conference if the roof closure knocked her off her rhythm, the Russian revealed: “I felt like the conditions obviously were tough for both of us.

“It was, I don’t know, very unpredictable because you know with the wind I felt like it was going in both directions. I didn’t feel: ‘Okay, if I’m playing on this side the wind is going that way.’ I felt like it was constantly changing and maybe that’s why it was hard for her and for me as well.

Recalling the umpire’s decision, Andreeva sarcastically responded:  ‘Oh, an that’s amazing moment. You know, I was 4-1 up Then I just told myself, okay, I guess it’s better to have the roof closed rather than stop the match because of the rain.

“But I felt like it was not the best moment for me. I just told myself: ‘Okay, they know better. They decided to close the roof. Okay, that’s fine.

“And obviously, I lost those two games after, but you know, I just tried to stay focused and not think about what happened and really focused on every point that I’m about to play.”

Andreeva has shown brilliant poise for the entire tournament and she has only dropped one set en route to the first Grand Slam final of her career.

That came against Marina Bassols Ribera in the second round of the competition, but Andreeva responded by taking the next two sets 6-1, 6-1.

With either Shnaider or Chwalinka to come in the final, Andreeva will be considered the favourite to lift the title. The Russian star is the highest ranked player left in the Grand Slam.

Serena Williams’ return to the WTA Tour has been one of the biggest stories in tennis as the American great will play a professional tennis match for the first time in nearly four years.

Williams signed up to play doubles at Queen’s after months of speculation that she might return to tennis and her appearance at the UK event as led to many believing she might play Wimbledon.

The American great is set to play doubles with Victoria Mboko at Queen’s to mark her return and there is plenty of excitement from tennis fans all over the world.

With speculation rife about Williams’ plans post-Queen’s, her former coach has waded into the debate about which tournaments she might play this year.

‘If Serena Williams is trying to win again in her comeback, I’d advise her to give it up’

Patrick Mouratoglou may have the answer to Serena Williams’ WTA Tour comeback question

On X, Williams’ first-ever coach Rick Macci made a bold prediction about what the 23-time Grand Slam champion would do upon her return to the sport.

Serena will play doubles and serve big and return bigger,” wrote Macci on social media. “The doubles is pre-game warm up to playing singles at Wimbledon and YES we will have a GOAT sighting at the US Open.”

Williams has not played the US Open since 2022, when she lost in the third round to Ajla Tomljanović. To date, that is Williams’ last professional match, but that will all change at Queen’s when she plays doubles with Mboko.

Taking to Instagram, Mboko shared a picture of her and Williams at the London event. She wrote: “The Queen is back. An honour to share the court with one of the greatest athletes of all time this week. Even more excited to play doubles together! Tennis is pretty special.”

Williams’ last professional appearance in the UK came in 2022, when she played Wimbledon. It was a tournament to forget for the tennis icon, as she was beaten in the first round.

She lost to Harmony Tan in three sets, a player who was ranked outside the top 100 of the WTA Tour rankings.

Asked if her match against Tan marked her final Wimbledon appearance, she replied: “That’s a question I can’t answer. Like, I don’t know. Who knows? Who knows where I’ll pop up.”

Those words look pretty prescient now, as rumours swirl about Williams returning to the Grand Slam that she has won a whopping nine times.

Williams and Mboko will learn who they play in the first round of the doubles draw of Queen’s a before the event is set to take place, when the draw is made.

Aryna Sabalenka has been warned her disastrous French Open collapse against Diana Shnaider could leave an indelible mark on her mentality as she heads into the grass court season.

Sabalenka lost 10 successive games to crash out of Roland Garros, as the world No 1 admitted she could not control her emotions as the match slipped through her fingers.

“No thoughts, no emotions. I just want to quit tennis right now, but we’ll see in a few days. Hopefully I’ll get back on track mentally,” Sabalenka ⁠said at her post-match press conference.

“I feel I had very decent opportunities in the second set. I screwed ​up, and then she stepped in and she played great.

“I feel mentally I couldn’t really recover after the second set. ​I think that was the biggest mistake from me.

Aryna Sabalenka facing a huge crisis after French Open shocker left big question marks

“I don’t know when the last time was that I lost 10 games in a row. I guess mentally I got into a very deep, dark hole over there ‌and I just couldn’t get back on track mentally.

“I actually have to step back and try to find a solution, because I just am so tired of me losing some matches not in the best way just because I was overemotional.”

Now former British No 1 Greg Rusedski has joined the debate over what comes next for Sabalenka, as he believes the manner of her defeat in Paris will leave a lasting mark.

“She had no emotional control out there,” said Rusedski on his podcast.

“She didn’t have any rituals, any way to calm down, to find solutions. She’s a great champion. She’s a great player, but that’s the one aspect in her game that lets her down, as we saw against Coco (Gauff) last year in the final.

“You’ve gotta find a way to control it at the biggest moments and the tournament that she struggles is in Paris. Last year she should have won. This year the draw was decimated again on her side, but she lost it mentally. She didn’t come through.

“This is gonna cause scar tissue because it’s back to back years it happens. Will it affect her at Wimbledon? Possibly. US Open, I don’t think so, because that’s usually her favorite Slam to play with the Australian Open.

“But is she ever going to win the French Open? And is she ever going to win Wimbledon? That’s the big question. Or will she have a great bounce back like Jannick Sinner did at Wimbledon last year?”

Rusedski went on to suggest the mental strength of a player is as important as their racket skills as he added: “You head is the most important thing and that is what’s let her down two years in a row.

“It’s not the tennis. The tennis is there, but she just lost control of her emotions and didn’t find a way through.

“It gets harder every time this happens to you. Either create a good habit or you create a bad habit. And in Paris, the last two losses haven’t gone the way. Not because of her tennis, but because of her emotional control.”

Mirra Andreeva has reacted after she crushed Marta Kostyuk in the semi-finals at the 2026 French Open to reach her maiden Grand Slam final.

The world No 8 delivered an impressive display to earn a 6-1, 6-3 victory over 15th-ranked Kostyuk on Court Philippe-Chatrier at Roland Garros.

Andreeva won 10 of the first 12 games of the match to build a 6-1, 4-1 lead before Kostyuk broke her for the first time to get back on serve at 3-4 in the second set.

The 19-year-old weathered this fightback from Kostyuk, though, as she broke her Ukrainian rival for the fifth time to take a 5-3 lead before sealing a convincing win.

Andreeva’s win ended Kostyuk’s 16-match clay-court winning streak. The Russian had lost both of her previous encounters with Kostyuk, which were in the Madrid Open final last month and the Brisbane quarter-finals in January.

In her on-court interview, Andreeva described Kostyuk as an “amazing player” and said she was happy she got “revenge” for the Madrid final.

“I’m still very, very nervous. I was very nervous coming into this match. Obviously, she’s had an amazing season,” Andreeva said.

“Until this match, she hasn’t lost a match on clay [in 2026], so of course that puts a lot of pressure. Yeah, she’s an amazing player, a very tough opponent.

“I’m just, first of all, super happy with the way I played today. Then I’m happy that I got a revenge for Madrid final. And then as well, I’m happy that I’m in my first-ever Grand Slam final.

“All of these feelings combined, it’s amazing. I’ve never felt anything like this before, and I’m just very excited about the last match here in Paris.”

Andreeva added: “The conditions were very tough today. It was windy, I couldn’t understand which direction the wind was going, and it was very tough.

“But I’m just happy that I was able to stay focused and I told myself to accept everything that happens today on the court because today was one of those days when I felt like everything could happen and it was a little bit unpredictable.

“So I just told myself that, no matter what happens, I’m just gonna fight, give my best, and if she ends up winning, she’s gonna have to really work for it and fight.

“I don’t know, with this kind of mindset, I ended up winning the match, and I’m just very happy about it.”

Andreeva will play either Diana Shnaider or Maja Chwalinska in the final at the clay-court Grand Slam.

Aryna Sabalenka was far from happy after her exit from the Roland Garros quarter-final, but she has every reason to feel aggrieved from the Grand Slams decision making.

Sabalenka struggled in windy conditions against Diana Shnaider and the weather played a pivotal part in the World No. 1 blowing a 6-3, 4-1 lead to lose the match.

She lost 10 games in a row to a brilliant Shnaider, who will be playing in her very first Grand Slam semi-final against Polish qualifier Maja Chwalińska.

After the match, the World No. 1 produced an iconic post-match press conference. Sabalenka said she wanted to ‘quit tennis’ after the loss and she also took issue with the roof on Philippe-Chatrier.

“That’s another question – I don’t know why they would keep the roof open when it was crazy windy,” said Sabalenka.

“I feel like it was getting crazy maybe just because mentally I wasn’t really okay. I remember even from last year they kept the roof open for us, and then the next day, in similar conditions, they closed it for the men – to make better conditions and better quality of tennis, I believe.

“I don’t know why they would keep it open. Even though I was winning, it was very dirty tennis. I don’t know how people could actually sit there and watch. And then at some point she stepped in and played unbelievable.”

While it’s understandable for Roland Garros to want to keep the Grand Slam an outside event, what followed Sabalenka vs Shnaider seems like total disrespect.

Felix Auger-Aliassime and Flavio Cobolli struggled in their first set due to the intense winds and before the second set, the roof was closed on Philippe-Chatrier.

There was not a real change in the weather between matches, so what changed? Auger-Aliassime and Cobolli were not even complaining about the wind, so it’s a real case of favouritism from the Grand Slam.

The roof being closed for the men is the last thing Sabalenka will want to see, but she has every right to be upset. While she deservedly lost to the better player, she will constantly be wondering what might have happened if Roland Garros closed the roof.

Legendary former tennis player and coach Jo Durie believed the wrath of Sabalenka could be coming after their strange decision.

Taking to X, Durie wrote: “Wow closing the roof now!!!! Sabalenka will not be impressed with that.”

Durie is absolutely right and the World No. 1 deserved an apology at best for the very controversial decision made by the Grand Slam.

Aryna Sabalenka suffered a brutal defeat to Diana Shnaider in the quarter-finals of Roland Garros, in very windy conditions on Philippe-Chatrier.

Sabalenka was in full control despite the wind, taking a 6-3, 4-1 lead against, before she completely capitulated and lost 10 games in a row.

The World No. 1 was bagelled in the deciding set to bring an end to her Roland Garros dreams and continue her winless run at the clay court major.

Sabalenka struggled in the wind and she was left confused by Roland Garros’ decision to leave the roof open on Philippe-Chatrier.

The Belarusian star was far from happy with Roland Garros organisers and she used much of her post-match press conference to question their actions.

“That’s another question – I don’t know why they would keep the roof open when it was crazy windy,” she said. “But how can I complain if for almost the whole match everything was working okay for me, and then it just slipped away?

“I feel like it was getting crazy maybe just because mentally I wasn’t really okay. I remember even from last year they kept the roof open for us, and then the next day, in similar conditions, they closed it for the men – to make better conditions and better quality of tennis, I believe.

“I don’t know why they would keep it open. Even though I was winning, it was very dirty tennis. I don’t know how people could actually sit there and watch. And then at some point she stepped in and played unbelievable.”

However, the World No. 1 never posed the question to Roland Garros organisers. Asked if she made the request for the roof to be closed, Sabalenka said: “No. I feel like there was no need.”

Sabalenka has every reason to be unhappy with Roland Garros organisers, particularly as the Philippe-Chatrier roof was closed a set into Felix Auger-Aliassime and Flavio Cobolli’s quarter-final.

Auger-Aliassime and Cobolli played out a messy first set, which was more than effected by the wind, before Auger-Aliassime won 6-4.

After the first set, organisers made the decision to close the roof following suggestions from John McEnroe, so it does beg the question why it didn’t happen for Sabalenka vs Shnaider.

The two women were just as effected by the wind as Auger-Aliassime and Cobolli, playing out a messy match of tennis that would have entertained the crowd far more if the roof was closed. Instead, it took a spellbinding Shnaider comeback to make the headlines, but Sabalenka has every right to feel aggrieved from Roland Garros.

Aryna Sabalenka cut a dejected figure following her shock French Open quarter-final loss to Diana Shnaider on Wednesday.

In a tournament where the top seeds continue to tumble, Sabalenka was the latest big-name scalp to be dumped out of this year’s Roland Garros.

The world No 1 was 6-3 and 4-1 up on Court Philippe Chatrier, as she looked on course to reach another French Open semi-final.

But her Russian opponent raised her game and pounced as Sabalenka flailed in the windy conditions. The 28-year-old ended up making 57 unforced errors as she fell to a 3-6 7-5 6-0 loss.

After the contest, 25th seed Shnaider, who will face qualifier Maja Chwalinksa in a semi-final very few would have predicted, could not hold back her stunned amazement.

She said, “Honestly, I am speechless. She is the world number one, so I was just trying to do my best. I had to fight for every point.”

An understandably disconsolate Sabalenka stunned reporters with her candid opening at her press conference.

She said, “No thoughts, no emotions. I want to quit tennis right now. We’ll see in a few days if I’m back on track.”

Sabalenka – who lost in similar circumstances to Coco Gauff in last year’s French Open final – conceded 10 games in a row as Schnaider sped away to victory.

The four-time Grand Slam winner is yet to win a major outside hard courts, with the Minsk-born player chalking up two Australian Open and US Open victories.

The French Open and Wimbledon still evade her clutches, something she admits may be playing on her mind.

Sabalenka added, “I don’t know. I really feel great on clay, I feel great on grass. Maybe I’m focusing too much on the fact that I’ve never won a Slam on them, and maybe that makes me overthink things, makes me over-emotional at some moments.

“This is something I actually have to step back from and try to find a solution, because I’m so tired of losing like this – not in the best way, just because I was over-emotional.”

However, she struck a defiant figure and vowed to bounce back from this big setback.

She finished her press conference by saying, “Well, what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, I guess. At some point I’ll figure out the situation and we’ll get back tougher.

“By the way, I just figured out how I can overcome it – one of those rooms where you go in and smash everything. Probably I’ll spend a whole day tomorrow over there destroying stuff. Maybe it’ll help, maybe not. Thank you very much.”

After an entire week of blistering heat, the players of Roland Garros have been forced to deal with another weather extreme for the quarter-finals: gale-force winds.

Wind speeds hit 28 miles per hour on Wednesday, 3rd June’s order of play, which caused havoc for Aryna Sabalenka in her clash with Diana Shnaider.

Sabalenka struggled in the winds, which aided her capitulation from 6-3, 4-1 up to confirm her shock exit from the Grand Slam for another year.

Felix Auger-Aliassime’s quarter-final match with Flavio Cobolli followed, but Roland Garros made the decision to keep the roof open, despite the wins.

John McEnroe, who was commentating for TNT Sports on the match, believes the Grand Slam made a mistake by not closing the roof of Philippe-Chatrier.

Asked if the roof should’ve been closed following Aryna Sabalenka’s semi-final match with Diana Shnaider, McEnroe simply responded: “Yes.”

The American legend continued: “Me personally, I want to see quality and the way to give yourself the best chance is to close the roof in this situation.”

McEnroe believes the players at Roland Garros this year have been dealt a difficult hand when it comes to the weather, with Paris experience a variety of climates.

“These players in this tournament have probably dealt with more challenging situations than any tournament I can recall. Brutal heat, all of sudden these gusty winds. The good news it’s not hot.”

The Roland Garros organisers eventually listened to McEnroe’s pleas as the roof on Philippe-Chatrier was closed after the first set between Auger-Aliassime and Cobolli.

Auger-Aliassime took the first set by a scoreline of 6-4, before the conditions were dramatically changed by the closure of the roof.

Roland Garros officials have been forced to deal with several tough situations at the Grand Slam this year, and they’ve come under fire more than once.

Players, including Casper Ruud, have complained about their safety on court, while the largest fine in Roland Garros history has been dished out.

Adolfo Daniel Vallejo was issued a €65,000 for saying his match with Moise Koaume should have been umpired by a male official instead of a women.

That was a decision that McEnroe rallied against too. Speaking on TNT Sports, the American believed the fine was far too high for a player of his Vallejo’s stature.

“Here’s the thing: €65,000 to say something asinine? That seems absurd! I can see $5000, maybe $10,000. This guy, he doesn’t make the type of money.

“For this guy to walk out, he’s obviously stupid, but that is a big time fine. It’s his second language. He’s not a natural English speaker. He speaks Spanish. You’ve got to cut the guy a little slack.”

Roland Garros has also come under fire for its lack of Electronic Line Calling, particularly after Ruud was cost a set against Joao Fonseca due to an incorrect call from an umpire.

Despite the unforgettable action on the court, it’s been a tournament to forget for the organisers.
