Serena Williams explains her definition of retirement

The former World number one was a guest on The Tonight Show hosted by Jimmy Fallon. This was Serena’s first appearance on a talk show after this year’s US Open. When Jimmy asked about her retirement from the game, she corrected him and talked about her leaning toward a new beginning rather than retirement. She said, “I think retirement is something that’s super earned and that people work really hard for. And maybe I haven’t worked hard enough.”

Further, the 23-time grand slam champion added about her age is a good factor in leaning toward new things. She said, “But I just feel like I’m at an age where I definitely have a lot more to give, and there’s a lot more that I want to do. And so I’m not gonna be relaxing. There’s so much more for me, and yeah. I feel it’s more like an evolution of Serena. And there are so many things that I’ve been wanting to do for so many years and have such a passion for….. Now its time for me to start enjoying those things.”
