“I’m not chasing records this time,” Williams added. “I’m doing this because I still love competing — and because I have something left to say with my racket.”
The announcement has reignited hope among her global fanbase, with social media exploding in celebration. Tennis commentators and fellow players alike have welcomed the news, with many saying the sport simply hasn’t been the same without her.
With Serena’s unmatched legacy, fierce determination, and newfound perspective, the stage is now set for what could be one of the most thrilling comebacks in sports history.
