Serena Williams said goodbye to tennis after being eliminated from the 2022 US Open (she lost in the third round to Ajla Tomljanovic), and three days before announcing her retirement from tennis, she showed her fans what she was up to over the weekend.

Almost 41 years old (she will be 26 on September 26), Serena has felt the efforts she has made lately (both physical and especially mental), and she devoted the weekend after the exit from the US Open to … sleep. .

23-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams posted a photo of herself sleeping on Instagram (at least that’s the message). Image question: “How was your weekend?” Such was mine…”
