The six-time US Open champion, shared a moving article last year speaking about retiring from tennis, and that she was embarking on a journey of yet expanding her family.
“I have never like the word retirement. It doesn’t feel like a modern word to me. I have been thinking about of this as a transition, but I want to be sensitive about how I use that word, which means something important to a community of people. Maybe the best word to describe what I’m up to is evolution,” wrote Williams.
She added, “I’m here to tell you that I’m evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me. A few years ago I quietly started Serena Ventures, a venture capital firm. Soon after that, I started a family. I want to grow that family.”
