Serena Williams has sparked excitement among tennis fans over a potential tennis comeback. The sporting icon ‘evolved’ away from the game following her third-round exit at the US Open last month.
The 41-year-old sobbed as she gave her final post-match interview as a professional player and an emotional New York crowd gave her a deserved fond farewell. But less than two months after bowing out of tennis, the 23-time Grand Slam champion suggested the chances of her returning to the game are ‘very high’.
“I am not retired,” Williams said at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco. “The chances [of me returning] are very high. You can come to my house and [see] I have a court. I started this company a while ago, so I just jumped right into that,” Williams said. “I didn’t even think about the whole retirement. I still haven’t really thought about it.
