Serena Williams will be eligible to return to professional tennis in 13 days if she chooses.
The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) has confirmed that Serena Williams will complete the required six month period in the anti-doping testing pool on February 22, clearing her to compete again under professional rules.
This simply means Williams has met the eligibility requirement for a return after time away from the Tour. No announcement has been made by Williams or the WTA regarding future plans.
Williams last played competitively in 2022 and stepped away as a 23-time Grand Slam singles champion and one of the most successful players in tennis history.
If she decides to return, she will likely play in major US tournaments like Indian Wells and the Miami Open, where former champions are often granted wild cards.
