It’s still hard to believe Serena Williams He has definitely retired from professional tennis. The North American dominated the circuit for years WTA and there were times when it seemed that we were never going to see its end, because even after being a mother, the winner of 23 Grand Slam titles continued to compete and on several occasions came very close to being able to add one more major to her record. , something that in the end was not possible, but that in no way tarnishes the brilliant and long-lasting career that the North American has had, which in the past US Open he hung up the racket demonstrating to continue at a high level.
Serena Williams was eliminated from the tournament in the third round after signing two brilliant performances, first against Danka Kovinic, whom she defeated in two comfortable sets and then against Anett Kontaveit, who was the number 2 seed for the event. In fact, that victory generated two debates, the first of which was about whether the North American could be considered a candidate for the title seeing how dedicated she was to the great and the great tennis that she was displaying. However, her adventure ended in the third round against Ajla Tomljanovic, a party that continues without forgetting. “I was not happy after the game about the result. He wanted to keep going in the tournament and keep winning. It was like ‘I don’t think I let this game go by’. It was a great moment and a great memory for me, and I felt like I gave it my all, but I asked myself: ‘what could I have done better that day?’” she commented in an interview with CBS Mornings.
DISCARDED A ROUND
The winner of 23 Grand Slams has never said clearly that she is retired, as she does not want to completely rule out the possibility of competing again at some point. In any case, it seems difficult that we will see her competing in a professional tournament again, since Serena is currently focused on other matters after having been focused on tennis all her life: “I have given tennis all my life And now it’s time to dedicate myself to something else. Right now, for me, winning is choosing the best offers to invest. I think there should be more women like me writing the checks because I think like attracts like.”
“I’ve literally given my whole life to tennis and it’s time for me to give my life to something else”: @serenawilliams is moving away from the tennis court — for now, at least.

However, he continues to leave a minimal possibility when he is asked directly if it would be possible for him to reappear on the circuit in the future. “It’s hard to say. I would say not. Not at the moment, ”he told the aforementioned outlet, although practically closing the door to this option, already hinting that it is 100% withdrawn.
