Serena Williams has time and again joked while hinting at her possible comeback
The 7-time Australian Open champion retired from the professional sport at the US Open where she faced an exit in the third round. She received a huge and warm farewell at the stadium where she won her first Grand Slam in the year 1999. She holds the record for most Grand Slams title wins in the Open era.
But the former legend has time and again, hinted at her possible comeback to the sport. While Serena Williams talks of her future plans, she has multiple times joked and hinted at the chance that she might be on the court despite having always maintained that she was probably “stepping away” from tennis.
