MusaEver catch yourself daydreaming about a Serena Williams comeback? Well, you’re not alone—especially if Rick Macci, the coach who helped shape both Serena and Venus back in the ‘90s, has anything to say about it!
Macci dropped a tantalizing hint on social media this past week. When asked if he thought Serena might return to the court to play doubles with Venus at the U.S. Open, his response was simple but electrifying: “My gut is probably… because at the end of the day Serena can still play even though she has been away. Her serve is still one of the best on the planet, and when she competes, her mindset is like granite.”
Let that sink in. He’s not just predicting a cameo—he’s saying Serena could be back and still deadly serious on the court.
Over the past weeks, Venus Williams has made her own headline-making return. At age 45, she battled her way back into pro tennis through wildcards and even notched a win at the Washington event—making her the second-oldest player to win a WTA match since Martina Navratilova. Her momentum has everyone buzzing.
Meanwhile, Serena’s been dropping hints of her own. With social media posts, training clips, even a heartwarming video of her holding her youngest daughter while playing, she’s reminding us all: “Still Serena” is more than a caption—it’s a message.
The sisters share a Grand Slam doubles legacy unlike any other—14 titles together and a flawless record in major finals. Seeing them team up again at Flushing Meadows would feel like a love letter to fans and the sport itself.
Of course, no official announcement has come directly from Serena yet—but let’s be honest: when Macci, who knows her all too well, drops words like “serve,” “mindset,” and “still play”… you let those sink in.
In short? The possibility of Serena stepping back onto the U.S. Open court is more than just wishful thinking—it might just be a prediction worth believing.
