Serena Williams made a step toward returning to tennis by asking to reenter the sport’s anti-doping test pool.
“She has notified us that she wants to be reinstated into the testing pool,” Adrian Bassett, a spokesperson for the International Tennis Integrity Agency, said in a text message Tuesday, according to The Athletic’s Matthew Futterman.
“I do not know if this means she is coming back, or just giving herself the option. All I can say is she’s back in the pool and therefore subject to whereabouts.”
