The GOAT is back.

Serena Williams confirmed her rumored return to tennis with a Nike ad that she posted to X on Monday morning.

Williams will be returning to play doubles at Queens Club with the grass court tournament beginning next week.

It was previously reported that Williams would be teaming with 19-year-old Canadian Victoria Mboko.

“Good news travels fast,” Williams captioned the commercial, which features the 44-year-old practicing off camera as her phone rings continuously.

The commercial fades to black with the phrase: “Guess everybody heard the news.”

Williams, who has won a record 23 Grand Slams, will be returning to the court for the first time since the 2022 U.S. Open, when she lost in the third round.

It has been speculated that Williams would also likely play at Wimbledon and continue on to the hard-court season back in America.
