Serena Williams has re-entered the anti-doping testing program, but she denied that this indicates a return to competition.

Serena Williams, the champion with 23 Grand Slam titles, has been included in the anti-doping testing program of the International Tennis Integrity Agency, but she stated that she does not intend to return to competition. Although her presence has been confirmed on the list of players who must provide information about their location and participate in random testing, Williams used social media to emphasize that she is not coming back to tennis, stating that the reactions to the news of the testing are exaggerated.

The former world number one has not competed since 2022, and her last victory at a Grand Slam tournament was in 2017. Recently, she posted photos with her daughter on the tennis court, but announced that she is stepping away from the sport. Williams may return to official competitions after a six-month testing period.
