Serena Williams is ready to “give [her] life” to something other than tennis.
The 41-year-old sporting legend played her last match at the US Open last September and although she previously said she was “not retired” and her chances of returning to play were “very high,” she has now admitted that was not the case. t on the agenda right now.
When asked if she was going to play tennis again, she told Gayle King on ‘CBS Mornings’, “It’s hard to say. I would say no. Right now, no.
“I literally gave my whole life to tennis, and it’s time for me to give my life to something else.
“My dad is like, ‘Serena, you should play like, two more Grand Slams,’ and I’m like, ‘Dad, stop it.’ “
The 23-time Grand Slam winner admitted she was “so happy” that she no longer needed to spend hours training every day.
She said: “I feel relieved when I look at the pitch. I’m so happy that I don’t have to train for two hours a day.”
But Serena admitted she finds her decision harder when she sees ‘old photos’.
She added: “[I think] “Oh, I miss it.” “
And while she enjoys not working out, Serena doesn’t know what to do with her free time.
She admitted, “It’s so hard for me to relax. I don’t know how to relax. I have to fit it into my schedule.”
Serena’s five-year-old daughter Olympia has made it clear she wants her mum and dad, Alexis Ohanian, to have another baby and now that she’s not playing tennis, the athlete reassured the young that they “worked there”.
Serena is also channeling her energies and focusing on her venture capital firm Serena Ventures, and with no win on the pitch “winning is just about picking the best deals to invest in.”
The company focuses on financing businesses from diverse backgrounds.
She said: ‘We need people like me, we need women who write the checks, because I’m such a big fan of what looks alike.
