Adrian Bassett of the ITIA confirmed to sports medium The Athletic that the 44-year-old Williams is back in the ‘test pool’. “I don’t know if this means she is making a comeback or just wants to keep that option open.”
Serena Williams had a huge argument with her coach about her weight: ‘Every kilo is one kilo too many!’
Williams is the winner of 23 Grand Slam tournaments. The American tennis legend won 73 titles and collected almost 100 million dollars in prize money. She ended her career after her performance at the 2022 US Open.

A return for Williams in the 2026 US Open mixed doubles tournament is the most likely option, according to speculation. Wildcards will be handed out for that special part that lasts two days. However, a return to an official tournament is only possible after a tennis player has been in the test pool for six months.
Williams announced via X that he has no plans to make a comeback. “I will NOT be back,” she wrote, expressing her surprise at the size of this “internet fire.”
