Serena Williams will return to competitive tennis next week after nearly one year off the court.

The American will play an exhibition match at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi on 30 December (local time).

Williams, who has won 23 Grand Slams, hasn't played since winning the Australian Open in January.

In September, the 36-year-old gave birth to her daughter Alexis Olymphia Ohanian.

Williams is "very unlikely" to play in this season's Australian Open (starting January 15), tournament director Craig Tilley, BBC reports.
