Tennis icon Serena Williams has left the door ajar for a possible return to professional tennis. In a recent interview, Williams didn't dismiss the idea of a comeback, sparking speculation amongst fans. The 23-time Grand Slam champion has been out of the sport since the 2022 US Open, where she indicated she was evolving away from the game rather than retiring.

Williams previously re-entered the sport's drug testing pool, fueling rumors of a return. However, she was quick to downplay the speculation. Her sister, Venus Williams, recently returned to the tour, which may have contributed to fueling speculation. Athletes re-entering testing must provide availability for sample collection and undergo testing for six months prior to competition.

Now a full-time mother of two, Williams is enjoying her life outside of tennis. The former world number one has previously stated her desire to have more children and has been focused on her family. While she didn't provide a definitive answer, Williams' openness leaves the possibility of a return alive for fans.

With Venus Williams already back on the tour, the tennis world is watching closely. Serena's return would undoubtedly shake up the sport, and fans are eager to see if she will chase more records. She remains focused on her family, but the door is open for a potential comeback. Watch the WTA Tour live on Sky Sports and stream on NOW.
