Serena Williams is one of the great legends of this sport, owner of 23 Grand Slam titles and considered by many people to be the best tennis player in history. Already away from the courts, since August 3, 2022 at the US Open (eliminated in the third round), the American spoke about her new life.
The former world number one spoke to the press in E.T.: “I would tell my past self to relax a little more.. She was so intense on the court, wanting to be perfect at all times, something that is obviously not possible, so she would tell me to take a deep breath and relax. “I think that’s something that would have helped me.”
“Now I’m trying to figure out who I really am off camera. I have been in the spotlight 24/7 for 27 years. Now it’s different, but it’s time to think about how it has influenced me,” he continued.
Then he closed: “LMost people see the Grand Slam victories, the finals, but they never see the training, everything behind it.. All that intensity that she put on the track I now direct toward my daughters.”
