The Tennis Scholar Serena Williams declared her alleged “retirement” from tennis in a fashion editorial interview with the Vogue<\/a> team.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Star acknowledged that she had avoided talking about retirement in the past, even when speaking with her husband.<\/span><\/p>\n

On an account of an experience when my 5-Years old daughter was asked, what she wanted to be in future.<\/p>\n

She echoed “I want to be a big sister” to an interactive robot app on her phone. Finally, it was obvious to me that I needed to make it a dream come through for her.<\/span><\/p>\n

In her words, \u201cI\u2019ve been reluctant to admit that I have to move on from playing tennis. It\u2019s like a taboo topic. It comes up, and I start to cry. I think the only person I\u2019ve really gone there with is my therapist\u201d.<\/p>\n

in the interview, Serena Williams describes herself as a tough competitor, even on the court. She views the tennis court as a place where she can let all her concerns and problems go, feel like a beast, and score all her goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

I always accompany my sister Venus to the court, and that motivated me . I was more fired up to take this as a career when someone called me a shadow of Venu, She said.<\/p>\n

And using that as inspiration and showing herself that she is capable of anything, she went on to win 23 grand slams.<\/span><\/p>\n

it is surpassing the grand slam count records held by Chris Evert, Martina Hingis, Selena Gomez, and Billie Jean King.<\/span><\/p>\n

Serena Williams experienced a C-section, a pulmonary embolism, and a grand slam final while still nursing Olympia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her final goal was to surpass Margaret Court’s record of 24 grand slam victories, but she could not do so because of juggling parenthood and tennis.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If I said I didn’t want that record, I’d be lying. Of course, I do, but the fact that I showed up 23 times is all that mattered to me, she added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even while she valued making sacrifices, playing tennis frequently felt like one to her.<\/span><\/p>\n

She acknowledged that her decision to retire, which she prefers to refer to as a “transition,” was not painless for her. But it must be completed.<\/span><\/p>\n

She is eager to strike a balance between her family, Serna’s endeavors, and her business in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving forward, she is looking forward to creating a balance between her business, Serna ventures, and her family.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0This, is really a <\/span>farewell<\/span><\/a>, to one of the world’s most talented tennis players, Serena Williams.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tennis Scholar
