Coco Gauff on Serena Williams’ comeback 

The French Open finalist, who is ready to take over the Billie Jean King Cup, in a question-and-answer session with The Palm Beach Post, answered a lot of tennis-related questions. During the conversation, she was also questioned about whether the 23-time Grand Slam winner had truly retired from tennis. Or if there was any hope for her to play again.

She said, “I go with whatever Serena says but I doubt the U.S. Open will be the last thing. But she’s hinted at returning and hinted at not returning. I’m going by her last interview saying she wasn’t. You’d think that would be final but if she changes her mind, I’m sure she’ll do what she wants regardless of public opinion.”
