Paris ¨C Naomi Osaka said she would be ¡°entertained¡± by a return to tennis from Serena Williams, after reports claimed the American great could play doubles at the Queen¡¯s tournament in London next month.

She said at the time she did not want to use the word ¡°retiring¡± but instead explained she was ¡°evolving¡± away from tennis.
