Serena Williams Has ‘Prepared’ for Retirement for Over a Decade, Wants More Kids: ‘Balance Is Key’

Serena Williams is following her father’s example and making sure she has a plan for the future.

While there has been speculation that she’s nearing the end of her incredible tennis career, the 40-year-old tennis star recently spoke to Entertainment Tonight and discussed her eventual retirement.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion told the outlet that though her tennis career isn’t over, she’s been ready for it, something she learned from her father Richard, center of the biographical film King Richard.

“I am prepared for that day, I’ve been prepared for that day for over a decade,” Williams said. “So, I’ve always — if you’ve seen King Richard you know that my dad always said you got to prepare, so I’ve been prepared for that. You know, at the end of the day, I think it’s really important to always have a plan and that’s kind of what I did. I always had a plan.”

For a few years now, Williams has been balancing her tennis career and her personal life since welcoming her first child, daughter Olympia, 4, with husband Alexis Ohanian.

Though she said her “balancing act” can be “overwhelming,” Williams told ET that she’s figuring out the perfect time to expand her family.

“I definitely want to have more kids, it’s just like, balance is key, you know, and just trying to find that balance,” she added. “I don’t know, it’s always like, OK, are we ready? And I know the clock is ticking so I’m just like OK, I need to figure out when that’s going to be, but hopefully soon when I will feel no pressure.” – Source
