The iconic player revealed in a post that it is time to focus on her family and leave the sport she loves so much. She explains that she would love to carry on playing for as long as her body could carry her but unfortunately, women have little or no choice when it comes to choosing between career and family.

She explained that:

There comes a time in life when we have to decide to move in a different direction,” Williams wrote. “That time is always hard when you love something so much. But now, the countdown has begun. I have to focus on being a mom, my spiritual goals and finally discovering a different, but just (as) exciting Serena. I’m gonna relish these next few weeks.
