When he was 42 years old - Famous actor hints at returning to tennis.
Powerhouse tennis player Serena Williams (42) last appeared in a competitive match at the 2022 US Open against Ajla Tomljanovic.
Is Serena Williams About to Make a Tennis Comeback?
Williams shared on X (formerly Twitter): "I'm raring to go and hit some balls again."
With 23 Grand Slam titles under her belt, this possible comeback is generating much excitement among her numerous fans.
One enthusiastic fan commented: "Yes, Serena, go for it! Tennis needs your unique personality and your passion for the game."
Another impatiently inquired: "Will we catch a glimpse of you at Wimbledon this year?"
It's worth noting that a comeback would be a complete turnaround from her previous statements. In recent months, Williams has been vocal about transitioning away from her illustrious tennis career.
Although there was never an official declaration of retirement, it seemed that this was where her path was leading.
In a significant feature in "Vogue" magazine, Williams announced her career was drawing to a close.
She expressed then: "If I have the choice between strengthening my tennis career and building my family, I'll favor the latter."
Ever since, Williams has frequently touched on this subject.
She recently wrote: "I've never utilized the word retirement. It doesn't resonate with me. I've been contemplating change for a while, but I want to exercise caution in using that term. Perhaps the most suitable word to describe what's happening within me is evolution."
She concluded: "This moment is challenging when you hold something so dear. My goodness, I adore tennis. But the game no longer occupies the center of my life. The clock is ticking. I must shift my focus to being a mother."
For now, it seems there's an unexpected U-turn on the horizon...
