Serena Williams isn't sure how she got back to Cincy, but she 'loves' it
Don't ask her why or how, but one of the most iconic tennis players has returned to Cincinnati (and she loves it).
Serena Williams, the legendary tennis player with over 29 Grand Slam wins, is back in Cincinnati for the 2026 Cincinnati Open. She made her return to the Queen City without any explanation as to why or how. This marks her first appearance in Mason since 2022. Serena and her sister Venus, the Williams sisters, will face off as doubles partners for the first time in Cincinnati Open history.
Venus also received a singles wild card for the tournament, which will take place from Aug. 11-23 at the Lindner Family Tennis Center. Serena expressed her love for Cincinnati's annual tennis tournament, saying, "I love this place. It's always one of my favorite stops on tour." The duo is set to play their round-two doubles match on Monday, Aug. 17, at 7 p.m. ET.
