Serena Williams will pair up with Karolina Muchova as she continues her comeback at the Berlin Open.

Williams made her comeback after a four-year hiatus at Queen's earlier this week.

However, her first tournament back was cut short by an injury to her doubles partner, Victoria Mboko.

The 44-year-old was already set to take part in Berlin next week, though, and her new partner has now been confirmed.

Muchova revealed the news while speaking to reporters ahead of the event.

"We're going to play doubles. I'm pretty excited about it," Muchova said.

"It doesn't happen every day that such an amazing athlete, not only in tennis but overall in sports, asks you to play tennis with her. I hope it's going to be fun."

Muchova, who is ranked 10th in the world, has only gone up against Williams once in her career, losing in straight sets at the US Open in 2019.
