Serena Williams Hints at Shock Tennis Return, Leaves Door Ajar for Comeback

  • Serena Williams, 23-time Grand Slam winner, has not ruled out a return to professional tennis, stating, "I don't know. I'm just going to see what happens."
  • The 44-year-old mother of two last competed at the 2022 US Open, where she announced her departure from the sport.
  • Speculation about her comeback intensified after she re-entered the tennis anti-doping testing pool in December, a mandatory step for returning players.
  • Williams maintained a non-committal stance on The Today Show, enjoying her life but not dismissing future plans.
  • Retired players must complete six months of clean testing before competing; her sister Venus Williams recently returned to the Australian Open.

Why It Matters: Serena Williams has fueled speculation of a tennis comeback by not ruling out a return to the sport.
