American professional tennis player Serena Williams has announced her retirement from tennis. So far she has not given a precise date for her exit, Williams said: “It’s the hardest thing I could ever imagine.”
The world-famous tennis champion said she is preparing to quit after the US Open in order to put up a try at another child at 40.
“I’m here to tell you that I’m evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me,” the legendary athlete said in an interview with Vogue.
“It’s the hardest thing that I could ever imagine. I don’t want it to be over, but at the same time I’m ready for what’s next,” she said.
Williams indicated that her imminent retirement was imperative to spend more time with her daughter Olympia and her husband, Alexis Ohanian
The tennis star’s announcement is coming on heels of her first win of the season, a two-set victory at the National Bank Open.
