American gymnastics star Simone Biles said that it would be a dream come true to train with 23-time Grand Slam singles champion Serena Williams as she contemplates making a comeback at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Biles, a seven-time Olympic gold medallist, was at Flushing Meadows to watch the US Open recently, where she revealed her desire to train with Williams as well as Coco Gauff.

"Serena's the GOAT, I'd love to train with her. Her and Coco, I feel, will give me a run for my money in training. When it comes to tennis, I cannot play the sport at all, but I still feel the vibes between us would be great," said Biles, 29.

While Biles has not competed in the last two years, she has not officially retired and is still deciding whether she wants to compete at the next Olympics. Interestingly, she said she plans to reach out to Williams for advice on whether she should make a comeback, with the 44-year-old having herself returned to competitive tennis in July after a four-year gap.
