‘She’s still got it’: New video of Serena Williams sends fans wild as Venus Williams makes return

Tennis champion Serena Williams has sent fans into frenzy after sharing a recent clip of her back on the tennis court.

Serena Williams called time on her illustrious tennis career in 2022, but a recent clip posted to her Instagram shows she may be set to make a shock comeback.

The 43-year-old claimed 23 Grand Slam titles – second only to Margaret Court’s 24 – and competed in her last professional match at the U.S. Open three years ago, where she lost to Aussie Ajla Tomljanovic.

After that defeat, she bid goodbye to the sport and has avoided the temptation to make a comeback.

The following year, Williams welcomed her second child in August, and since then, she has undergone an incredible body transformation.

In recent months, the youngest of the Williams sisters has upped her social media posting, sharing various pics and videos of her incredible new physique.

But it was a video the 23-time grand slam winner uploaded on Saturday (AEDT), that truly sent fans crazy.

There has been very limited footage of the tennis star out on the court since calling time on her illustrious career, but on Saturday, she shared a clip captioned ‘Still Serena’ showcasing her skills, with fans all thinking the same thing; ‘She’s still got it’.

“Mother of 2 Serena Williams, wins grand slam in 2026! I can see it now,” one fan commented.

“Damn, she’s still got it. Absolute GOAT,” another added.

“Would still beat everyone at the tour even with no training,” a third wrote.

Fans also began to hypothesise she may be eyeing a shock return to the sport, potentially on the doubles court.

“You’ve always been fit. But this is the fittest we’ve seen you since the 2012-2016 season. Just one more season, Serena?” one wrote.

“She’s coming back for doubles with Vee (Venus Williams) at the Open,” another added.

Spanish tennis player Carlos Sanz also pointed to a key in the video.

“Keep rewatching this video, are we preparing for a doubles WC entry with Venus at the US Open? And your comeback?”

Venus Williams, Serena’s elder sister, is gearing up for a comeback at the DC Open in Washington this weekend with a wildcard entry, marking her first WTA Tour match since March 2024.

So could a Serena comeback be on the cards, potentially with her sister Venus? Time will tell.
