Serena Williams ‘torn’ over comeback after becoming ‘more at peace’ with decision

0

The
23-time
grand
slam
winner
appeared
to
call
quits
on
her
career
at
last
year’s
US
Open
after
defeat
at
the
third
round
stage
to
Ajla
Tomljanovic,
repeatedly
referencing
“evolving”
away
from
tennis.

In
October,
Williams
declared
she
had
not
retired
and
labelled
the
chances
of
a
return
as
“very
high”.

With
the
41-year-old
still
confident
she
can
compete
at
the
highest
level,
Williams
struggles
with
the
repeated
questions
in
her
head
of
choosing
between
her
sporting
career
and
enjoyment
of
motherhood.

“I
for
sure
feel
more
at
peace
now,”
Williams
told
E!
“It’s
interesting.
I
think
I
feel
torn
because
I’m
still
able
to
play
at
a
very,
very,
very
high
level.

“With
that
being
said,
I
always
wanted
to
leave
the
game
playing
at
a
very
high
level.
I
also
wanted
to
walk
away
when
I’m
healthy
and
have
a
quality
of
life.

“But
I’m
inch
by
inch
leaning
away,
inch
by
inch
embracing
it.
I
was
playing
earlier
when
I
first
retired
because
it
was
hard
to
do
it
cold
turkey.

“But
lately,
I
haven’t
played
so
much.
And
I
miss
it.
I’m
like,
‘Oh
my
goodness.
I
have
got
to
get
out
there’.
But
it’s
hard
for
me
to
get
out
there.

“I
did
play
the
other
day,
and
it’s
just
like,
‘There’s
no
way
I
shouldn’t
be
playing
professional
tennis’.
Like,
there’s
literally
no
excuse.

“But
I
mean,
I
guess
there
is
an
excuse,
right?
It’s
hard
because
when
I’m
playing
I’m
like,
‘Oh
my
gosh,
I’m
pretty
good
at
this.
I
can
continue
to
do
this,’ which
not
a
lot
of
people
can
say.”

Balance
in
life
remains
the
key
aspect
Williams
is
trying
to
achieve,
whether
she
returns
to
her
beloved
sport
for
one
last
dance
or
not.

“I’ve
been
playing
tennis
for
literally
my
entire
life,”
she
said.
“My
entire
being
and
knowing
is
just
what
I’ve
done.

“So
now,
I’m
inch
by
inch
finding
my
way.
Obviously,
I
love
other
businesses
that
I’ve
done.
But
just
inch
by
inch
leaning
into
that
and
leaning
into
my
family
and
leaning
into
just
having
fun.

“I
think
it’s
so
important
to
do
all
those
and
still
create
that
balance.”
