Serena Williams says she is working toward returning to singles tennis in 2027, and she is using the women’s doubles event at the U.S. Open as part of that preparation. She is competing in doubles with her sister, Venus Williams, as she builds readiness for singles play.
Both outlets frame her participation in the U.S. Open doubles as a stepping stone rather than an end goal. While the outlets do not provide new match results or detailed timelines beyond the 2027 target, they emphasize her focus on getting fully prepared and returning to singles competition. The coverage is consistent in linking her current doubles participation with a future singles comeback plan, with no conflicting details presented about her plans.
Overall, the reporting aligns on the same core points: the target year for a singles return is 2027, and the U.S. Open doubles event—played with Venus Williams—is part of her preparation.
