Being Serena Williams is not easy. There’s a constant expectation from you. Apart from being a regular mother, a big group of people look up to her when she takes the court. However, after years of grind and hard work, silence is something Serena is not comfortable with.

I’m currently allowing myself to be tired. Allowing myself To relax. Allowing myself to just be. It’s harder than I ever imagined. I’ve never allowed myself to do any of that before…

Most of the fans understand what Serena is going through. A few of them asked her to understand the value of rest and take some time off for herself. The situation arises in every athlete’s career. Leaving the work you have done all your life and all of sudden you have nothing else to do.
Earlier tennis great Andre Agassi also expressed similar feelings after his retirement. That too when the American used to hate the sport initially. While Serena has always been in love with tennis, it must be harder for her.
