Serena Williams, a legendary tennis player, decided to retire this year, taking a major step. Williams has been working on other business initiatives and spending time with her five-year-old daughter since her retirement.

The Tennis Legend retired from the sport in August of this year, following her final US Open match.

Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam winner, is cherishing every second with her daughter, who is five years old. The former world number one spoke candidly on the PEOPLE daily podcast about her laid-back schedule after leaving tennis. She did, however, add that her daughter is well aware that her mother is no longer devoted to rigorous training and is making the most of her recently discovered free time in a conversation.

She recalls an incident sharing how her 5-year-old always takes her time out from Williams’ busy schedule.

She said, “I’m always like, ‘Olympia, I’m not working now.’ She’s like, ‘Yeah, you don’t play tennis!’ She’s like, ‘Yes!’ And I don’t really quite know how to feel about that.”

According to the tennis star, Olympia feels her mother has a lot of spare time even in between her work as she is not playing tennis anymore.
