Serena Williams announced her official return dates to professional tennis on her Instagram. In her post she said her first game will be on Thursday March. 7, and that all her tournaments will be in California and Florida.

Williams wrote, “Thursday, the day I play my very first match, marks international women’s day. My comeback could not have come on a better day and I decided I wanted to do something different let you all be apart of my long journey back (if you want of course!!).”

The tennis champion then wrote about how her fans can show support to her and also her charity, “I created my Serena Gold toned “S” pin.
When I am playing you can wear it and show support not only for me but also for my charity which supports the Yetunde Price Resource center.

Along with wearing the pin, she encouraged her fans to share the words that begin with “S” that means the most to them. She wrote, ” I want this gold “S” to mean something special to you personally. What is one S word in your life that means something to you? Mine is Strong and Sure! So when I wear my “S” pin I am representing Strength and Sureness.
What would your “S” mean?” She ends her post with “Thanks for the support I look forward to seeing you out there!!”

Williams fans are very excited about her return to tennis!

“Awesome! Good luck!”

“Congratulations and I think this is awesome.”

“You’re amazing! Ready for the comeback! Dominate!!! #GOAT 🎾💪🏽”

“Stay focused Serena, and WIN your matches. Have fun! :)”

“Go get ’em, Queen! 😍👑🎾🏆🏅”

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
