Serena Williams made her feelings known about her retirement
In an interview with Time, Serena Williams spoke about her retirement from tennis. She opened up about missing tennis and also revealed the reason behind it. Along with this, the former tennis player also admitted that she is healthy today because she did not force her career beyond the 2022 US Open campaign.
"I miss it a lot, with all my heart. I miss it because I’m healthy. If I couldn't walk, or if I was so out of it, I wouldn’t miss it as much. I think I’m healthy because I didn’t overplay," Williams said.
Williams further spoke about her children, revealing that she scratched the possibility of returning to the sport because of her desire to have more children.
"I just can't peel myself away from these children. Another reason I had to transition was because I wanted to have more kids. And I look at Adira and I'm like, ‘Was it worth it?’ I literally thought about it the other day. I was like, ‘Yeah, it was definitely worth it.’"
Serena Williams has two daughters, Olympia and Adira, with the co-founder of Reddit, Alexis Ohanian. The American recently celebrated her makeup brand, WYN Beauty, by organizing a two-day pop-up event in Los Angeles on April 11 and 12, 2025.
