BREAKING NEWS: Serena Williams’ Potential Comeback Sparks Debate: Agassi Weighs In on Challenges Ahead…
The American is starting her comeback in doubles, with Williams playing alongside Victoria Mboko at Queen’s.
There have been varying opinions about how well Williams will do when she comes back, and now Agassi has explained what he thinks will be successful for the 23-time Grand Slam champion.
Agassi was asked about Williams’ comeback in the latest edition of The Big T Podcast, and what he thought would be a successful return for his compatriot.
Instead of focussing on results, Agassi claimed that success for Williams would be enjoying herself back on tour, as he stated that he would be rooting for her.
“I’ll tell you what would be a successful comeback for Serena, that she’s living her best life,” said Agassi. “And if she wants to be on a tennis court, God bless her.
“I mean, I look forward to seeing her, I look forward to watching her. I had the luxury of watching her up close for so many years in her prime and I mean maybe you could argue her prime went on well past when I was able to watch it.
“But it wouldn’t matter to me the result for her on any level except her own, her own best self. If she’s out there with the true desire to play, that’s a win for the sport.”
Agassi later added, “If she had regret, she’d have to explain to me where that thing is coming from. I mean, she did it all and she did it over a very long period of time.
“But if she wants to challenge herself, I mean she looks fantastic. I’ve seen her on commercials, she looks like she’s been putting in a lot of work. So, let her test herself in a new way, a new era, in a new time frame and a new chapter in her life, if that’s what she wants. I mean, I’ll be pulling for her.”
