Serena Williams<\/a> appears to be flirting with a stunning tennis comeback at the age of 44 and former British No 1 Greg Rusedski has predicted when he might make what could be a brief and final appearance on a tennis court.<\/p>\n

Williams has added herself back onto the anti-doping list that all professional players need to sign up to if they want to compete on the tennis tour.<\/p>\n

That decision inevitably led to speculation that the 23-time Grand Slam winning legend is planning an audacious return to the sport, more than three years after she called time on her career at the 2022 US Open.<\/a><\/p>\n

A full-time return to tennis appears to be unlikely for the mother of two, but Rusedski suspects Williams has a plan in mind and it might be linked to a final appearance on court for her sister Venus.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I think she might play some doubles with Venus,\u201d said Rusedski, speaking on the first episode of his new podcast, Off Court with Greg, which goes live on Monday.<\/p>\n

Has Serena Williams made telling move towards a comeback? Andy Roddick makes \u2018significant\u2019 comment<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIf Venus is hanging up the rackets, I think she has gone on the (doping) list to sign off with Venus, which started the Williams sisters story.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat an amazing story. I think it\u2019s the greatest story ever. You look at the Dad and they have made a movie out of this, King Richard. He said I don\u2019t have one Michael Jordan, I have two Michael Jordans.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Serena and Venus did coming from Compton is incredible, so I think she has put herself on the and will play doubles with Venus. It could be Wimbledon, it could be the US Open and boy, would I love to see that. I hope I\u2019m there to see that in person if it happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Serena\u2019s former coach Patrick Mouratoglou<\/a> also gave his verdict on a potential comeback for his former player, as he backed the tennis legend to return to the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think when Serena wants something and when she puts her heart in it, there are not much things that are impossible,\u201d said Mouratoglou. \u201cSo I guess, if she thinks about her comeback, she will only [do it] if she thinks she can compete with the best.<\/p>\n

\u201cOtherwise, she will not. That\u2019s not her mindset. That\u2019s never been her mindset. Maybe this (comeback) is something that crossed her mind because she\u2019s in super shape, as everybody saw.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe looks like she\u2019s back to being a top athlete after being a mother. To open an opportunity and to come back, there is, I think, a long way to go, so I guess we\u2019ll know in a few months if it happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams has downplayed talk of a comeback, but the tennis world will be waiting to see if we get a final burst of magic from the Williams sisters in 2026.<\/p>\n
