Serena Williams REVEALS News That SHOCKED The World..

Welcome back to Sports Craze. Serena Williams on Monday said she has not retired from tennis and that the chances of her returning are “very high” after she previously indicated that she would step away from the sport after last month’s U.S. Open. “I am not retired,” Williams said at a conference in San Francisco while promoting her investment company, Serena Ventures. “The chances (of a return) are very high. You can come to my house, I have a court.” Williams, 41, said she was “evolving away from tennis” in an essay in August and, while she did not confirm the U.S. Open as her farewell event, she was given lavish tributes before each match in New York and waved an emotional goodbye after losing in the third round.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion, who took the tennis world by storm as a teenager and is considered by many the greatest of all time, said not preparing for a tournament after the U.S. Open did not feel natural to her. “I still haven’t really thought about (retirement),” Williams said. “But I did wake up the other day and go on the court and (considered) for the first time in my life that I’m not playing for a competition, and it felt really weird. “It was like the first day of the rest of my life and I’m enjoying it, but I’m still trying to find that balance.” Describing the decision as a “transition” and an “evolution” as she turns her attention more fully to her work as an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and mother to her four-year-old daughter, Olympia, Williams will turn the page on her career as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. The numbers are extraordinary. Since winning her first major singles title at the U.S. Open in 1999, Williams has gone on to win 23 Grand Slam titles—a record for any player, male or female, in the Open era—and shares the record for consecutive weeks spent as world number one on the WTA rankings, a jaw-dropping 186 weeks, with Steffi Graf. She has won four Olympic gold medals—a record she shares with her sister, Venus—and is widely reported to be the highest-earning female athlete of all time. 1997: Her First Big Wins in Chicago; 1999: Her First Grand Slam Singles Title; 2001: Her Powerful Response to Racism at Indian Wells; 2002: Her First World Number One Ranking; 2003: The First Serena Slam; 2007: Her Australian Open Comeback; 2012: Completing the Golden Slam at the Olympics; 2015: The Second Serena Slam; 2017: Winning the Australian Open While Pregnant.
