Serena Williams is “evolving away” from tennis

Serena Williams has hinted at retiring from tennis.

In a column for Vogue magazine, she wrote, “Maybe the best word to describe what I’m up to is evolution. I’m here to tell you that I’m evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me.

“That time is always hard when you love something so much. My goodness do I enjoy tennis. But now, the countdown has begun. I have to focus on being a mom, my spiritual goals and finally discovering a different, but just exciting Serena. I'm gonna relish these next few weeks.”

Serena has won 23 Grand Slam titles in a career spanning more than two decades.
