Serena Williams' new ranking revealed after winning on tennis return and it looks like a typo

Serena Williams has been handed a massive boost in her official WTA Rankings after making a spectacular return to tennis.

After 1,375 days away from the sport, tennis legend Williams returned to the court in a doubles match with Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko at at London's Queen's Club on Tuesday.

The 44-year-old had previously retired from the sport to “evolve away” from tennis and focus on her family, later having her two children Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr and Adira River Ohanian.

Asked why she came back, she added: "I had nothing better to do, I got tired of sitting at home. My kids are out of school for the summer, so why not?"

Amazingly, Williams and Mboko upset third seed Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Erin Routliffe 7-6 (7-2), 6-2, securing their spot in the quarter-finals, where they will play Laura Siegemund and Leylah Fernandez on Thursday.

In doing so, the duo are assured of earning at least 108 ranking points each.

Due to her long spell away from tennis, Williams had no ranking at the start of the tournament so will now surge 9,407 places up to No 592 in the women's doubles rankings.

Meanwhile Mboko – who currently sits at No 9 in the singles rankings – has moved up 19 spots to a new career-high No 114 in the doubles.

Should the pair win their next match and earn a spot in the semi-finals, they will then be guaranteed to earn 195 points, seeing Williams move up nearly 200 places to around 394, while Mboko would jump to No 102.

Will Serena Williams play at Wimbledon?

Of course, with Williams now back playing tennis, many fans will be eager to see if we may see her return to Wimbledon ahead of the major getting underway later this month.

The seven-time Wimbledon singles champion hasn't played at Wimbledon since suffering a first round exit in 2022 to a player ranked outside the top 100.

Therefore, many fans would be eager to see her comeback and rewrite her Wimbledon ending this year, but when asked about the possibility of doing so after he win at Queen's, Williams kept her cards close to her chest.

"It's just a day at a time," she said.

"I still have a little time to decide, and they have been great about giving me that space and time to decide."

Should Williams decide to comeback for either or both of the singles or doubles events it is almost certain that Wimbledon would jump at the chance to have her back and give her a wildcard to secure her spot.
