The sports world is filled with excitement with the news of Serena William's likely comeback. At a conference in San Francisco on Monday, she said that she has not retired from tennis and that the chances of her returning are "very high".
Earlier, she had indicated that would step away from the sport after last month's US Open.
"I am not retired," Williams said at a conference on Monday while promoting her investment company, Serena Ventures.
"The chances (of a return) are very high. You can come to my house, I have a court."
According to Reuters, Williams, 41, said she was "evolving away from tennis" in an essay in August and, while she did not confirm the US Open as her farewell event, she was given lavish tributes before each match in New York and waved an emotional goodbye after losing in the third round.
Williams had said that not preparing for competition after US Open did not feel "natural".
The 23-time Grand Slam champion, who took the tennis world by storm as a teenager and is considered by many the greatest of all time said she still hasn't really thought about retirement.
"But I did wake up the other day and go on the court and (considered) for the first time in my life that I'm not playing for a competition, and it felt really weird. It was like the first day of the rest of my life and I'm enjoying it, but I'm still trying to find that balance," Williams was quoted by Reuters.
