Serena Williams has said the end of her remarkable tennis career is in sight, joking that she’s moving closer to the light. ‘Lately, that’s been it, I can’t wait to get to that light,’ she said, adding the light represents ‘freedom’. The 40-year-old picked up her first victory since the 2021 French Open on Monday, beating Nuria Parrizas-Diaz 6-3, 6-4 at the women’s National Bank Open, but in an article for Vogue on 9 August, she said she is ‘moving away’ from tennis and towards retirement, suggesting that the US Open will be her final tournament.
