Serena Williams teases fans with tennis outfit amid comeback talk
Serena Williams is back in a tennis outfit which she proudly showed off, making fans very hopeful of seeing her back on the professional tour. Williams has been teasing the tennis world about a comeback ever since she bid farewell to tennis at the 2022 US Open.
Williams recently admitted that she believes she is still capable of playing at a very high level, which tempts her to make a comeback, before also saying that she always wanted to retire while still playing at a high level.
The thought of returning to the pro level still seems to be going on in Williams' mind and her latest look in a simple blue Nike outfit has gotten many fans excited.
Williams took to social media to share a photo of herself beside a tennis court.
"You can’t tease me like this, Serena!!! Can you please just come back?! Please and thanks," a fan wrote, reacting to Williams' post.
"Is that a tennis fit?!? Stop playing with us," another fan expressed.
While the American tennis legend could have sported the kit for an ad shoot as well, she was mum about it on social media, leading to more speculation.
"When I'm playing, I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, I'm pretty good'" - Serena Williams on playing tennis post retirement
41-year-old Serena Williams recently revealed what was on her mind amid all the comeback chatter. Williams expressed great confidence at still being able to play at a high level and admitted that her level of tennis on the practice court was too good for her not to still be a part of the WTA circuit. But at the same time, she does not want to compromise on health and a good quality of life.
"Actually, I did play the other day, and it's just like, 'There's no way I shouldn't be playing professional tennis. Like, there's literally no excuse. But I mean, I guess there is an excuse, right?" Williams told E!.
"It's hard because when I'm playing, I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, I'm pretty good at this. I can continue to do this,' which not a lot of people can say. I also wanted to walk away when I'm healthy and have a quality of life."
Apart from family, the retired 23-time Grand Slam champion has been devoting a lot of her time and focus towards her venture capital firm Serena Ventures and other business-related commitments.
