The tennis champion confided in the September release American Vogue that he wanted to expand his family.

He “never liked the word” to retire, preferring the word “evolution.” Serena Williams, however, announced in the September issue American Vogue that he was going to bow. “I’m here to tell you that I’m going to retire from tennis, to focus on the things that are important to me,” he said in a column the magazine offered him.

“Two feet in tennis, or two feet out”

The tennis champion, who has won 23 Grand Slam titles, said she wants to spend more time with her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, and their 5-year-old daughter, Olympia. But also the fact that she intended to give birth to a second child. “Alexis and I tried for another baby this year, and my doctor recently gave us some encouraging information that made me realize we can have a baby when we’re ready,” she said.

Before adding. “But I really don’t want to get pregnant again as an athlete. I have to have two feet in the tennis world, or two feet outside. A decision that the professional athlete did not take lightly. “Believe me, I never wanted to choose between tennis and my family,” he explained. I don’t think that’s fair.” She, who won the US Open in Toronto on Monday August 8 against Nuria Parrizas-Diaz, thus made a bitter observation.

“If I were a boy, I wouldn’t write this”

“If I were a boy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out playing tennis and winning tournaments while my wife was doing all this physical work to expand our family,” he said. he emphasized. Maybe I was more like Tom Brady (husband of American football player Gisele Bundchen and father of their two children, Editor’s Note:) if I had the chance. Serena Williams also recalled that she was “two months pregnant” when she won the Australian Open in 2017. “But I’m 41 this month and something has to change,” he continued.

Speaking about falling short of Margaret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slams, Serena Williams said she “should have won more than 30”. “I had my chances after giving birth,” she said. I went from a C-section to a second pulmonary embolism and then a Grand Slam final. I played while breastfeeding. I performed despite having postpartum depression. But I didn’t make it.” That did not stop the athlete from becoming a legend.
