World tennis may soon see Serena Williams back on the court; the American champion, now 44 years old and winner of 23 Grand Slam titles in her career, is planning her comeback after retirement and the latest signs say that this could happen very soon.
According to 'The Times', the ideal occasion to make such an announcement for Serena Williams could be the Super Bowl final on Sunday, February 8, where the former world number 1 is the protagonist of an advertising spot for the company 'Ro'.
During a recent interview on the 'Today' program, Williams hesitantly answered questions about her return to the playing fields.
"I don't know, let's see what happens," Serena said, "at the moment I'm just having fun and enjoying life."
After withdrawing from the 2022 US Open, Serena Williams continued her anti-doping tests by undergoing regular checks; a clear signal, according to those well-informed, of her availability to return to the playing fields.
There are many factors pushing her to make a comeback within the year; the possibility of a final double farewell with her sister Venus, the 2028 Olympics and the desire to go for 24 career Grand Slam titles.
As another tennis legend, Jim Courier, pointed out, someone who no longer intends to compete is not subject to rigorous daily checks, reports tch.
Even training sessions with former tennis player Jesse Levine in Florida confirm that Serena Williams' game is still solid and reliable and very likely even competitive at the highest levels.
