The 44-year-old will make her return to professional tennis next week in London, where she will play doubles with Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko in the HSBC Championships at Queen’s Club.
It has now been announced that Williams will also play doubles at the Berlin Tennis Open beginning on June 15, with a partner yet to be confirmed.
Every tournament I add to my schedule right now feels special, and Berlin is no exception,” said the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion on the official Berlin Open website.
“I’m excited to compete in front of the German fans and continue building momentum throughout the grass-court season.”
Williams was pictured playing on the grass at Queen’s Club on Thursday alongside 19-year-old Mboko.
The American has not played a match since a glittering farewell at the US Open in 2022, with Williams saying at the time she was “evolving away” from tennis.
