Serena Williams is a supreme athlete, role model, and beautiful woman. Serena Williams, one of the best tennis players of all time, is preparing to bid goodbye to the sport. For more than 20 years, the 40-year-old was the face of women’s tennis. In a recent interview, Serena Williams talked about what it is like for an athlete to face issues.

Serena Williams will begin her US Open campaign today. The 40-year-old is prepared to play one final tournament at the Flushing Meadows. She not only achieved great success, but she also motivated many aspiring athletes. Serena’s on-court prowess has consistently been the main draw, but her courageous act has always come first.

Serena opens up about what an athlete goes through

During the interview, she addressed a lot of queries. While answering one such question, she drew a comparison with NBA. Serena said, “I don’t know any other person that has won a Grand Slam or a championship in the NBA or anything else nine weeks pregnant.” She laughs while making a serious point. She was eight weeks pregnant when she won the Australian Open championship.

Further, she talked about how being an athlete relies on different aspects and not only your physical energy. “A two-week event. That tournament, I relied on my brain. An athlete isn’t just about what an animal you are physically, like a specimen. It’s using everything. Your mind, your body, everything. And doing that for 20 years. And doing it against people that come against you and play the best game of their life. Every single time. You can come to your own conclusion after that.”
