Serena Williams has hinted that she might retire from tennis soon, bringing to an end an amazing tennis career.
After claiming her first victory in 340 days since last year’s French Open at the National Bank Open on Monday, the American tennis great hinted at retirement by telling reporters: “I love playing, though… but, you know, I can’t do this forever. Sometimes you just want to try your best to enjoy the moments, and do the best that you can.”
She also revealed that she intends to spend time with her family and her five-year-old daughter, Olympia and added that she and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, have been trying to have another child and recently received good news from her doctor.
“We recently got some information from my doctor that put my mind at ease and made me feel that whenever we are ready, we can add to our family,” She added.
The 40-year-old has won 23 Grand Slams and is one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
The American, who was born in Michigan, has won seven Wimbledon titles, seven Australian Opens, six US Opens and three French Opens – with her last major triumph coming at Melbourne Park in 2017.
She hadn’t won since the French Open last year and her recent win marks a significant milestone for her.
