Serena Williams has not played an official match since the US Open 2022, the main tournament in which the athlete supposedly said goodbye to tennis. The American woman constantly made mysterious statements about a possible return, and recently told how she sees life “from retirement”.

Serena Williams can’t relax after ending her tennis career

In an interview with “CBS Mornings”, Serena says that it is very difficult for her to come to terms with the fact that she left professional tennis.

“I’m definitely developing. When you retire, everything becomes different. You put down the gloves, the bat or whatever, or the computer, and then you relax.

You practically go and take life into your chest. I feel like retirement is such an important word for someone my age (not 41). I thought, I really don’t think this is right for me.

I never fit into any mold. I just have to find a way out of it,” he said Serena Williams.

“It’s so hard for me to relax. I don’t know how to relax. I have to schedule it into my schedule. I’m not kidding,” the multiple Grand Slam champion added.
