Serena Williams shared her fatigue from raising two young daughters on social media March 3, highlighting parenting challenges. This update follows her February eligibility for WTA return, as speculation continues fueled by training footage and sister Venus Williams' recent mixed comments at the ATX Open.
On March 3, 2026, Serena Williams posted on X: “I’m so tired I can feel fatigue in my feet. These kids…… 🥵.” The 44-year-old, mother to Alexis Olympia (born 2017) and Adira River (born 2023) with husband Alexis Ohanian, emphasized the physical demands of family life.
This comes weeks after Williams, the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, regained eligibility for professional tennis on February 22 by completing a six-month stint in the ITIA's International Registered Testing Pool. Footage of her training with WTA player Alycia Parks has fueled rumors, despite her downplaying a return, including December 2025's "I’m NOT coming back" post and ambiguous Today show remarks.
Venus Williams, 45, addressed a potential team-up after her first-round loss (4-6, 1-6) to Ajla Tomljanović at the 2026 ATX Open—the oldest WTA-level win in over 21 years earlier in her career. She said, “Oh man, wouldn’t that be cool?” but noted, “I never see her practicing,” adding seriously, “To come back, you have to get out there... a lot of hours that go into it. So we’ll see.”
Williams, retired since the 2022 US Open, prioritizes ventures like Serena Ventures, WYN Beauty (launched 2024), and stakes in the Miami Dolphins and Angel City FC.
