Star Tennis Player Serena Williams Drops Major Hint On Retirement
New Delhi: Talismanic tennis player Serena Williams dropped a major hint on retirement after US Open this year. After earning her first win since French Open 2021, Serena expressed her delight and said that she is happy to get a win after a long time. “I have never liked the word retirement,” Williams wrote in a Vogue article. “It doesn’t feel like a modern word to me. I’ve been thinking of this as a transition, but I want to be sensitive about how I use that word, which means something very specific and important to a community of people.”Also Read – Fans Sign Online Petition For Novak Djokovic to Play in US Open
