Tennis legend Serena Williams has put an end to speculation about her potential return to the sport. The 23-time Grand Slam champion, who retired in 2022, was listed on the International Tennis Integrity Agency's (ITIA) anti-doping testing registration, sparking rumors about a possible comeback. However, Williams took to social media to categorically deny any plans to return to professional tennis, stating 'I’m NOT coming back.' This clears up any confusion about her future in the sport, which she had been focusing on family and personal pursuits since her farewell tour in 2022. As an active player is required to be registered for doping tests to participate in sanctioned tour events, Williams' presence on the list was not unexpected. Her sister, Venus Williams, remains an active player on the WTA Tour and has been playing both singles and doubles in recent years. Williams has been keeping busy with her family, including her young daughters with husband Alexis Ohanian, and has made appearances in the public eye, such as the Super Bowl half-time show with Kendrick Lamar in 2025. With Williams' own confirmation, rumors of a return to tennis can likely be put to rest.
