I want to have a little bit of a life while I m still walking - Serena Williams after US Open 3R defeat

By Bhargav Modified 03 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Serena Williams lost in the US Open third round to bring her career to a close. The retiring Serena Williams said after her US Open third-round loss to Ajla Tomljanovic that she has a life after tennis, which she wants to enjoy. Playing the last tournament of her illustrious career, the 23-time Major winner went down in three sets to Tomljnaovic. Williams lost a tight opening set 7-5 but roared back into the contest by taking the second in a tiebreak. The 40-year-old, though, fell well short in the decider, winning just one game. Despite saving five match points, Williams failed to delay the inevitable as she waded off into the sunset without going all the way.

"I'm ready to, like, be a mom, explore a different version of Serena," said Williams. "Technically in the world I'm still super young, so I want to have a little bit of a life while I'm still walking." The 40-year-old, while admitting that she has come a long way since last year's Wimbledon, hinted that she might not be done with playing just yet. "(I) don't know (if it was my last match)," said Williams. "I'm not thinking about that. I always did love Australia, though (smiling). But yeah, you know what, I've come a long way since last year at Wimbledon. Just not sure if that was my last moment or not. Making it a different moment I think is much better. Yeah, and it takes a lot of work to get here. Clearly I'm still capable. It takes a lot more than that." Meanwhile, Tomljanovic will next meet Ludmilla Samsonova for a place in the quarterfinals.
