Serena williams press conference after her loss to Naomi Osaka still baffles me, full of emotions and i must say I'm moved, after she had lost straight sets 6-3 6-4, Serena had put her hand across her heart in what looked like a 'farewell' but when asked about the gesture, she said if she ever say farewell, she wouldn't tell anyone. But her last words was ' I'm done' as she walked out of the press conference.
When she said 'I'm done' is it just referring to the press or teasing us about her tennis career?, curious? Maybe I should stop the guessing, i feel serena still have alot to offer women's tennis. Perhaps there are things going through her head, her personal life, who knows.
Women's tennis is one i love since early 2000 especially when i watched the two williams sisters played against each other venus and serena williams, though i was small then, but the emotions surrounding the match still lingers in my memory, serena lost the Wimbledon open against her sister, since then I've became a fan of serena, watching and following each of tennis matches and till date she has won 23 grand slams. After winning the Australian open in 2017, taking her grand slams tittle to 23, but recently it seems there hasn't been enough fire power left in her anymore, perhaps some of the off field personal life events have been distracting her sort of.
- I'd love to see serena doing this again, shes almost 40 but i still felt, she can claim her authority in women's tennis but also i think the younger girls are much ready to takeover from her.
Serena currently ranked #11 in the women's ranking while Naomi osaka is ranked 3rd who had won 3 grand slams will be playing in the final of the Australian open.
Will you love to see serena carrying on or probably take a break for now, or she just quit considering her achievements, please feel free to add your comments a
Or suggestions.
