Serena Williams will make her long-awaited comeback to the professional tour at the 2022 Rothesay International Eastbourne on Tuesday — albeit on the doubles court.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion will partner singles World No. 4 Ons Jabeur at the WTA 500 event, the main draw action for which got underway on Sunday. The duo are slated to take on Sara Sorribes Tormo and Marie Bouzkova in their first match.

The news of Williams' comeback was confirmed last week when Wimbledon announced its first list of wildcard entries, with the American featuring on it alongside a host of Brits. Her participation in the doubles competition at Eastbourne was confirmed soon after.

Jabeur shared her excitement at partnering Williams, who was recently spotted practicing on grass ahead of her comeback, in a social media post.

The Tunisian, much like Williams, will not feature in the singles draw. Her name initially appeared on the entry list, but she chose to withdraw from the event and focus on playing doubles alongside Williams.

Jabeur comes into the tournament in red-hot form, having just lifted the trophy in Berlin — her second on grass. The Tunisian's versatile game and Williams' power make them a formidable team, one that most players will be looking to avoid in the draw.
