Excitement is building in the tennis world as rumors swirl about Serena Williams making a comeback to the sport. Novak Djokovic, a 24-time major champion, expressed his anticipation during a media session at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California. While Djokovic hasn't directly spoken to Williams, he believes she is gearing up for a return after clearing doping protocols. The possibility of Williams playing at Wimbledon, a tournament where both Djokovic and Williams have excelled, is a topic of interest, with Djokovic suggesting she might start with doubles matches alongside her sister Venus.
