If you follow me on Twitter, you know that Serena Williams has committed to an exhibition event, the Mubadala World Tennis Championship (MWTC) in Abu Dhabi, and in less than a week she’s set to play her first match since giving birth to daughter Alexis Olympia in September.
When I tweeted about it yesterday, the only source of the news was Sports360.com, while now everyone’s reporting it, and Serena herself has made a statement:
The Mubadala World Tennis Championship has long marked the beginning of the men’s global tennis season and I am excited and honored to be making my comeback as part of the first women to participate in the event.
