What is Serena Williams Doing Now?

Even at forty, the fuel to outsmart Margaret Court’s record of 24 grand slams is still pumping in Serena William’s veins. Serena holds the record for thirteen Grand Slam singles championships on the court. As of the US Open, she has had to settle for a tie of 6 with Chris Evert. Further, Serena is notable for the 365 women’s single match wins at majors and 10 single majors win after reaching 30, all of which are the highest. She has also won the WTA Tour Finals five times throughout the singles category 5 times.

Although retirement is not even close, Williams has gone short of the grand slam glory for about years. Her most recent success came in 2017 during the Australian Open. Serena has only claimed one low-level championship (Auckland 2020) after having a baby, despite reaching back-to-back two different finals in 2018’s Wimbledon and 2019’s US open.

She has been inactive for more than six months after suffering a hamstring injury. And that’s the reason why she excused herself from 2022 competitions in late 2021.

Rumors bout Serena`s retirement

There have been different rumors about Serena’s retirement. Of course, she has played for nearly a year. Then her coach Patrick went ahead to work with Simona Hep. But to silence these rumors, Serena, while at Miami’s bitcoin conference, posted a video announcing her comeback and claiming that she won’t be retiring anytime soon. She will miss the French open, considering that she affirmed her return to Wimbledon. Still, we expect her in the US Open and the WTA tour in England after Wimbledon.

Despite being coy on the matter, Serena says she has focused on the present and not the future. So, if Serena Williams is not on the court, what is she doing?
