After two weeks of getting knocked out of the US Open, fans assumed this was the end of Serena Williams’s tennis career but she teased her sensational return to the sport.
Before the US Open, she would say “evolve away from tennis” after the grand slam when she was defeated in the third round by Ajla Tomljanovic. On Wednesday, she said “you never know” to a return in competitive tennis.
She further added “I think Tom Brady started a really cool trend, you know … the way he did it,”
In ABC’s “Good Morning America” she gave the example of 45-year-old NFL star Tom Brady who retired in February, six weeks after he came back for the 23rd season.
Williams will be turning 41 on this September 26 and stated that she was “evolving” from tennis even before the US Open and her defeat in the third round seemed like ending her entire career.
She stated that on Good Morning America Wednesday, her sister was one of the reasons for her delay in retirement.
Venus Williams who’s Serena Williams’s older sister and seven-time Grand Slam winner tried to make her return she revealed.
“She’s not done yet. This is just me. She’s trying to get me and I’m like, ‘No.”- Serena said
Williams said that “it hasn’t quite sunk in yet” after her final loss.
“I couldn’t have asked for anything more.” Williams said of her final event.
On the other hand, Brady made one of the biggest headlines of the NFL offseason when he retired and returned in just weeks for another season with the Bucs. He was back under the center for the 23rd season in NFL and led the Buccaneers to a 19-3 Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
