Tennis News: After playing what is expected to be her final professional tennis match, Serena Williams declares that she “will not be relaxing” and that she can now find time for “things that I’ve been wanting to accomplish for so many years.”
The tennis sensation who has taken the world by storm claimed that her rumoured “retirement” from the game was “more of a development of Serena” and that it was now time for her to pursue her other interests.
The multiple grand slam champion was eliminated from the US Open competition earlier this month after falling to Ajla Tomljanovic in three sets.
Speaking about her tennis career on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, she said: “I think retirement is something that is super earned and that people work really hard for.
“I feel like I’m at an age where I definitely have a lot more to give and there’s a lot more that I want to do so I’m not going to be relaxing, there’s so much more for me.
“I feel like it’s more of an evolution of Serena.”
She added: “There’s so many things that I’ve been wanting to do for so many years and I’ve had such a passion for tennis for so long that I’ve never done them.
“Now it’s time for me to start to enjoy those things.”
Teased by Fallon about a possible return to her sport, similar to that of NFL legend Tom Brady, she responded: “Tom Brady started an amazing trend. That’s what I want to say.”
