During September’s U.S. Open, tennis legend Serena Williams appeared to announce her retirement after 27 years dominating the sport.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion told the world that she was “evolving” away from the sport after the U.S. Open, even though she tended to avoid the word “retirement” in any of her interviews.
While Williams was speaking on a panel at last week’s TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco, the tennis great made it clear that she is not “retired,” which shocked many tennis fans.
“I am not retired,” Williams said, via The San Francisco Standard.
