Firstly, she admitted that she had mixed feelings about her next chapter and didn’t even like using the word “retirement” instead opting for “evolution”.
In an interview with ESPN Williams was quoted as saying,
I have been reluctant to admit to myself or anyone else that I have to move on from playing tennis. My husband and I can’t even have this conversation with my mom and dad. It’s like it’s not real until you say it out loud.
It comes up, I get an uncomfortable lump in my throat, and I start to cry. The only person I’ve really gone there with is my therapist. One thing I’m not going to do is sugarcoat this. I know that a lot of people are excited about and look foreword to retiring, and I really felt that way.
Secondly, Williams, is currently playing at the Canadian Open, and won her first match in 14 months to advance to the next round.
