Serena Williams announced her return to tennis, motivated by the desire for her children to see her play. At a press conference before the HSBC Championships this week, Williams stated that her daughter Olympia, nearly nine, and younger daughter Adira, almost three, inspired her comeback. While focused on doubles play with partner Victoria Mboko, Williams hinted at the possibility of returning to singles competition, depending on future training.
