“Whatever I believe in I fight for, and I will do it again and again until it’s right. My daughter brought out a new form of expression in me, and that was really important. It was a really humble experience; but also one that made me want to reach out and express this new me.
“Before it was always titles, titles, titles,” she says. “You find that does change a little over time. Of course my drive is as intense as ever, but just making it back to competition is now a win; and climbing the world rankings again is a huge thrill for me.
“I just always come back to that phrase, ‘you are a long time retired’, and that really speaks volumes for who I am and the love I have for this sport,” she begins. “Of course, on occasions I have grown tired of it, and certainly I value my downtime away from the court more than ever before; but if the idea of taking my racket out there, of competing, of giving it my all, still excites me, then why would I possibly want to do anything else?”

Game, Set and Match
“I have found it really interesting to see my perspective and my perception change, and I loveWilliams,that.” a two-time Olympic gold medallist, admits that the dichotomy between her professional and her personal life is one that is hard for some to fathom, but then again, isn’t it always tricky to define living icons.
While the subject of retirement for Serena Williams is always one on the lips of interviewers, it is to the 40-year-old’s unending credit that she perseveres on in a sport that has given her so much, all of which she has paid back many times Fromover.
“Previously, I never really cared what people thought of me, but I definitely don’t now! “I am me, and that’s enough.”
recurrent injuries, mental health worries, the exhaustion of over two decades on the circuit, the distractions of media work, and the small matter of a young child waiting for her at home, no-one would begrudge the Florida-born star – the greatest female tennis player to have ever lived –the decision to start a new career.
Indeed, Williams’ ambitions on the court have evolved almost as much as the athlete herself. A perennial winner who has chalked up 23 Grand Slam event wins, including seven at Wimbledon, time away from action – notably with husband Alexis, who she married in 2017, and daughter Alexis Jr – has altered her perception of success.
The everlasting poise and performance of Serena Williams.
