Serena Williams,announced June 1 that she will return to professional tennis at the HSBC Championships in London starting June 6, nearly four years after her 2022 U.S. Open farewell… While away from the court, Williams has been building a sprawling real estate portfolio, primarily in Florida, where she and husband Alexis Ohanian own at least two properties in Jupiter, including a custom-designed primary residence she purchased for $5.7 million in 2017.

In addition to 23 major titles, the most by any woman in the Open era, Williams has won 73 career singles titles, four Olympic gold medals and has spent 319 weeks at No. 1 in the WTA rankings. She has won 14 major doubles titles alongside sister Venus and is the only player to record a career Golden Slam in both singles and doubles.

The WTA confirmed Williams’ return with a post, writing Williams was “officially returning to the stage.”

“Serena is one of the greatest athletes of all-time, with a legacy that extends far beyond the court,” WTA chair Valerie Camillo said in a statement. “Her return is an expression of her passion for competition, and I cannot wait to see her face a new generation of top players.

Serena is not just a great champion. She’s a successful entrepreneur, a powerful advocate for the issues that matter — and one of the most iconic women in the world. We are thrilled to welcome her back to the WTA Tour at this hugely exciting moment for women’s tennis.”
