The world famous tennis champion has announced her retirement from tennis.
The American professional tennis player said she is preparing to quit in order to put a try at another child. The US open 2022 coming up later this month would be her last tournament.
She broke this news in an article for vogue. She wrote:
“I have never liked the word retirement. It doesn’t feel like a modern word to me. I’ve been thinking of this as a transition, but I want to be sensitive about how I use that word, which means something very specific and important to a community of people. Maybe the best word to describe what I’m up to is evolution. I’m here to tell you that I’m evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me.
A few years ago I quietly started Serena Ventures, a venture capital firm. Soon after that, I started a family. I want to grow that family”
The tennis star’s announcement is coming after her first win of the season, a two set victory at the national open bank.
