Is Serena Williams really making a comeback to pro tennis?

It may feel like an eternity ago, but it was just in 2022 that Serena Williams played in what was then her last professional match, a U.S. Open loss to Ajla Tomljanovic that ended her storied career in the sport.

But... could she be coming back?

Here's what we know: Per ESPN, she has "reentered the International Tennis Integrity Agency's (ITIA) registered testing pool, potentially clearing the way for a return to the sport."

There's also a report from reporter Ben Rothenberg backing that up, with more: "Serena had first sought reinstatement this past August, weeks before this year’s U.S. Open, likely to play doubles in New York with her sister, Venus. But such short-notice spontaneous comebacks by officially retired players are not permitted."

There's no word from Williams or her agent, so we'll see if this means anything hopefully soon. Stay tuned.

What is Serena Williams' age?

She is 44 years old.
