IS SERENA WILLIAMS RETIRING?
young and vibrant. But if you follow the sport, you’ve probably heard the rumors that Williams is getting ready to retire. It’s rare for a tennis player to remain at the top of their game at 39, and on Feb. 17, Williams lost in the 2021 Australian Open Semifinals to Naomi Osaka. The loss hit her hard. As Insider reported, “Following the defeat, Williams placed her hand on her heart and saluted the crowd before breaking down in tears in her post-match press conference and saying: ‘If I ever say farewell, I wouldn't tell anyone.’” That certainly sounds like a hint at retirement. Williams is already considered a GOAT (greatest of all time) in women’s professional tennis, but if she retires now, she’ll be one Grand Slam victory short of tying Margaret Court, the most decorated female tennis player in modern history. It would be tough for someone as competitive as Williams to get so close and fall short — and her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, doesn’t think she’ll throw in the towel.
"I don't think she will stop until she at least wins a Grand Slam, because she came back to win Grand Slams [after her daughter was born]," he told People magazine. German tennis star Tommy Haas echoed Mouratoglou in an interview with Insider, saying, “I know deep down, as the competitor she is, she wants to break the record. I think ultimately that's why she's still playing, because she wants that number and she's going after it." During a discussion at the Silk Speaker Series at the University of San Francisco, Williams reportedly said her love of the game keeps her going. “I love what I do and that motivates me,” she said. As long as that love remains, odds are she’ll stay on the court. If you’re struggling to play a sport you enjoy and worry you might be getting too old for it, try channeling Williams. Remind yourself why you love the game, and you’ll find the strength to power through.
