Serena says she will “stay away” from tennis amidst retirement talks

WASHINGTON: Veteran Serena Williams said Tuesday she would “step away” from tennis and signaled her retirement from the game she dominated for years and won 23 Grand Slam titles in single. On Monday, Serena only played her second game in single from Wimbledon in June and, after a year of absence from competitions, beat the Spanish Nuria Barezas Diaz to reach the second round of the Toronto Open. The 40-year-old won her last Grand Slam title in 2017 and was looking to clinch her 24th title, equaling the holder of the record Margaret Court. “I never liked the word retirement,” wrote Serena in an article for Vogue. It doesn’t seem like a modern word to me. I was thinking about it in transitory way, but I wanted to be sensitive to the use of the word, which means something exceptional and important to a group of people. “” Perhaps the best word to describe who I am is to escape, “he added. from tennis and I get closer to other things that are more important to me. ” “A few years ago I launched the Serena Ventures investment company and soon after I started my family and I want this family to grow,” he continued. Serena then wrote on Instagram that it was time for her to move “in a different direction. “” It’s always hard when you love something so much, “she added.” Oh my God, I like tennis but now the countdown has started. I need to focus on being a mom and my psychological goals and finally discover a different but also excited Serena. I will have fun in the coming weeks “. (Reuters)
