Serena Williams Speaks on Pulling a Tom Brady and Coming Out of Retirement

Serena Williams Speaks on Pulling a Tom Brady and Coming Out of Retirement

Despite recently just closing out her professional tennis career at the 2022 US Open, Serena Williams revealed that she may go down the same path as Tom Brady and his retirement in the future.

In a new interview with Good Morning America, the beloved tennis star explained that she found Brady’s return interesting, adding that she believes she may want to continue being involved in tennis again in the future. “I’ve just been saying that I think Tom Brady started a really cool trend, you know,” she revealed. “I do know that I love the sport so much. I love the game. I love everything about it. It’s just been such a light in my life that I definitely want to keep some sort, something involved in there.”

Williams continued, “I feel like tennis has given me so much, and I feel like there’s no way I don’t want to be involved in tennis somehow in the future. I don’t know what that involvement is yet.”

Williams’ final professional run ended with a loss to Ajla Tomljanović at the US Open. In her initial retirement announcement, which was made via a letter to tennis published on Vogue, she opened up about wanting to focus on her family. “I have never liked the word retirement. It doesn’t feel like a modern word to me,” she wrote. “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. Maybe the best word to describe what I’m up to is evolution. I’m here to tell you that I’m evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me.”

Meanwhile, Brady’s retirement only lasted two months; he returned to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his 23rd season. “These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG,” he tweeted.

Elsewhere in sports, Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver has been fined and suspended by the NBA after an independent investigation uncovered his workplace misconduct.
