Could the 23-Time Grand Slam Champion Be Making a Return?
Tennis fans are buzzing with excitement as Serena Williams hints at a potential return to the court. The 23-time Grand Slam winner took to X (formerly Twitter) with a cryptic message that has sparked speculation and anticipation worldwide.
“I’m ready to hit some balls again,” Williams tweeted, a post that quickly went viral, amassing nearly 1 million views.
Williams, who began her illustrious career in 1995, has not only dominated major tournaments but has also transformed the landscape of women’s tennis alongside her sister, Venus Williams. Her last match was at the US Open in September 2022, where she battled valiantly but ultimately fell in three sets to Ajla Tomljanović.
Since her apparent retirement, Williams has been dropping subtle hints about a possible return to tennis. During the TechCrunch Disrupt event in San Francisco just a month after the 2022 US Open, she teased fans by saying, “The chances (of me returning) are very high.”
However, Williams also emphasized the importance of family. “But at the same time, I’m so happy. I really want my daughter and my family to be ahead of me. It’s interesting how women think, and I like that we think that way, and I think that’s what makes us so special,” she added.
Williams is just one victory away from tying the record for the most Grand Slam titles by a single player, a milestone that would further cement her legacy as one of the greatest athletes of all time. While fans eagerly await an official announcement, Williams is keeping busy with other ventures.
In addition to the buzz around her potential comeback, Williams is slated to host the ESPY Awards in July. “This is a dream come true for me, and something I’ve wanted to do for as long as I can remember,” she said in a recent statement. “It has been a sensational year for sports and an unprecedented one for female athletes. I can’t wait to celebrate everyone on stage in July.”
