Serena Williams sparked quite the excitement in the tennis world on Tuesday when it was announced she applied to be reinstated to enter the players’ drug testing pool. This seemingly felt like a big step towards possibly unretiring to return to professional tennis in some capacity.
But, apparently that’s not her plan. Hours after the initial news dropped, Williams sent out a simple tweet shutting down the rumors. Unfortunately for hopeful tennis fans, the 23-time major champion is not returning to the tennis court in a professional setting.
