The International Tennis Integrity Agency has officially reinstated Serena Williams as an active player, removing her from the retired list on February 22, 2026. This move follows her rejoining the anti-doping testing pool last year, making her eligible for tournaments. Her former coach Rick Macci expressed certainty about a comeback, citing her intensive training.
The International Tennis Integrity Agency has charged 2023 Wimbledon singles champion Marketa Vondrousova with refusing a doping test in December 2025. The Czech player cited mental health struggles and fear from a late-night visit by testers as reasons for her refusal. No provisional suspension has been imposed, allowing her to compete pending the outcome.
