Most recently, Serena made an appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show. She was asked by Fallon if she could pull a Tom Brady during their conversation. In response, Serena didn’t talk much about herself and laughed it off by saying that Brady started an amazing trend. Notably, Brady reversed his retirement from the NFL after the previous season and is now preparing for the upcoming season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Previously, Serena had expressed her love for the Australian summer, most notably during the US Open. Now, with Serena’s recent comments about Brady, it has only fueled fan speculation that she will return in next year’s Australian Open.

Not to mention, she needs just one more Grand Slam victory to tie Margaret Court’s record of 24. So, one needs to just wait and see what’s going to unfold in the coming times.
