Paris – Naomi Osaka said she would be “entertained” by a return to tennis from Serena Williams, after reports claimed the American great could play doubles at the Queen’s tournament in London next month.
The 44-year-old has not played since a third-round loss at the 2022 U.S. Open left her one short of the all-time record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles, jointly held by Margaret Court and Novak Djokovic.
She said at the time she did not want to use the word “retiring” but instead explained she was “evolving” away from tennis.
