- Serena Williams has not fully closed the door on a return to tennis.
- Her name is listed again in the official drug testing system.
- She retired after the 2022 US Open.
- The 23-time Grand Slam winner avoided giving a clear yes or no.
- Fans are now watching closely for her next move.
Tennis legend Serena Williams has sparked fresh debate after speaking openly about a possible return to professional action.
Although she stepped away from the sport in 2022, the American star has now given signals that her tennis story may not be fully over.
In December, the International Tennis Integrity Agency confirmed that Williams is listed among players registered for drug testing.
This step is required for any athlete planning a return, as players must remain in the testing pool for at least six months before competing again.
While appearing on the Today Show on Wednesday, Williams avoided giving a direct answer about returning to the court.
“I don’t know, I’m just going to see what happens,” she said, keeping fans guessing.
When pressed further, the seven-time Wimbledon champion declined to label it as a “maybe,” leaving the conversation open-ended.
Now a mother of two, Williams revealed that she recently described herself as a stay-at-home mum and housewife on official documents.
She also declined to speak in detail about her testing status, saying she preferred to avoid discussing the matter publicly.
Documents released by the tennis integrity body in October showed Williams among registered players.
An updated list published later in December still included her name, further fueling talk that a return remains possible.
Players in this pool must report their location daily to allow surprise testing.
One possible factor behind the renewed interest is her sister, Venus Williams.
At 45, Venus remains active, and the idea of the two sisters sharing the court again, especially in doubles, has excited fans worldwide.
Serena offered no final answer, but she also did not shut the door completely.
For now, supporters can only wait and watch, as the tennis world stays alert for what could be one of the sport’s most emotional comebacks.
