Serena Williams Says She'll 'Probably' Play Singles Again After US Open Return
The 44-year-old said an injury kept her out of singles at this year’s U.S. Open after Wimbledon, but she expects to return again.
On Monday, 44-year-old Serena Williams told ESPN's Malika Andrews she "probably" plans to compete in singles again after a four-year absence from competitive tennis.
Williams said her return at 44 is fueled by a desire to show her daughters, Olympia and Adira, that "anything is possible" during this chapter of her career.
Earlier this summer, Williams competed in singles at Wimbledon but said an injury there prevented her from competing at this year's U.S. Open.
At the U.S. Open, Williams competed in mixed doubles alongside Spain's Carlos Alcaraz at his request, falling to Belinda Bencic and Flavio Cobolli in the quarterfinals.
Remaining active in New York, Williams will play women's doubles with her older sister, Venus Williams, later this week following a suggestion by Olympia.
