Serena Williams, the legendary 23-time Grand Slam champion, is facing the challenges of transitioning away from professional tennis. In a recent interview on Today with Hoda & Jenna, she candidly shared that leaving the sport “hasn’t been easy.”
Since giving birth to her second daughter last August, Serena has been exploring new business ventures and investing in various companies. However, tennis remains her “first love,” and she admitted to missing the thrill of the game.
“I will never love anything as much as tennis,” Serena said. “Walking out on center court every day, there’s no adrenaline like that.”
One aspect of tennis that Serena particularly misses is the fashion. Known for her iconic outfits on the court, she expressed a longing to wear those skirts again. Despite the challenges, Serena continues to train and stay active, emphasizing that she still loves the sport and has fun with it.
Serena’s impact extends beyond tennis, as she has become a role model for young girls and athletes across sports. She was thrilled to hear that LSU star Angel Reese referred to her as a “guiding light,” emphasizing the importance of inspiring women to be both beautiful and fierce in their pursuits.
