BERLIN (AP) — Serena Williams' comeback to tennis will include a stop in Berlin this month.
Berlin Open organizers said Williams will compete in doubles at the grass-court event starting on June 13. Her partner and the date of her first match will be announced later.
The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion stepped away from tennis in 2022. She has yet to say whether she plans to play at Wimbledon or the U.S. Open.
She will make her eagerly anticipated return to professional tennis playing doubles alongside Victoria Mboko at Queen’s Club next week. Berlin is the week after. Wimbledon is two weeks after that.
“Every tournament I add to my schedule right now feels special, and Berlin is no exception," she said. "I’m excited to compete in front of the German fans and continue building momentum throughout the grass-court season.”

DENVER (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers left-hander DL Hall went on the injured list and right-hander Jake Woodford was designated for assignment as part of a bullpen shakeup to start a six-game trip.
The Brewers also recalled left-hander Brian Fitzpatrick and right-hander Craig Yoho from Triple-A Nashville before their game Friday night at Colorado.
Hall went on the 15-day injured list with a left pectoral strain. The injury had forced him out of the Brewers’ 12-9 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Thursday.
Woodford allowed four runs over three innings later in that game.
Hall is 0-0 with a 2.03 ERA in 24 games with 32 strikeouts and 24 walks over 31 innings. Woodford is 0-1 with a 6.94 ERA in 16 games.
Yoho is 0-0 with a 1.00 ERA and three saves in 16 relief appearances with Nashville. Yoho has a 1.14 ERA in 110 career minor league outings, but he had a 7.27 ERA in eight games with Milwaukee last season.
Fitzpatrick had a 1.59 ERA in four games with Milwaukee earlier this season. He is 3-1 with a 1.13 ERA in 15 games with Nashville.
