Is Serena up for a comeback?
With her recent statements, Serena Williams hinted at a possible return. The 41-year-old earlier referred to Tom Brady’s retirement U-turn as amazing. Later, she said at an event in San Francisco that she is not retired yet. While there’s no official confirmation but the signs that Serena is giving might point to something big.
However, talking about the technical aspect of her game, the more challenging thing is that will she be able to make a comeback. In her last few matches, we have seen her getting tired. The age and long relaxation have definitely affected her game. If Serene is to seriously reconsider a comeback, the legend will have to prepare a proper comeback strategy and a full-time coach.
