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.
