She goes on to say that although the three-time grand slam champion won’t be affected by her comeback to the sport, everything is possible in terms of chances. The three-time Grand Slam champion further stated that an athlete’s life involves many difficult decisions, including this one.

Kerber said, “This is not easy to replace and probably the hardest decision in an athlete’s career, if you realize that you can no longer reach the top level, your body no longer participates like that and then comes the new generation. Serena played well in New York. I don’t know what’s going on in her, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she suddenly got back on the court.”
