Serena Williams spoke candidly about her missing tennis during her feature story for TIME Magazine. In the interview that was released on April 16, 2025, the tennis star admitted to feeling the absence of tennis while also highlighting how she feels healthy and confident.

“I miss it a lot, with all my heart. I miss it because I’m healthy. If I couldn’t walk, or if I was so out of it, I wouldn’t miss it as much. I think I’m healthy because I didn’t overplay,” she said.

However, she also added that her career in the sport is now in the past as she greatly enjoys being a mom to her two daughters, Olympia and Adira.

“I just can’t peel myself away from these children. Another reason I had to transition was because I wanted to have more kids. And I look at Adira and I’m like, ‘Was it worth it?’ I literally thought about it the other day. I was like, ‘Yeah, it was definitely worth it,’” Serena Williams added.

She also has various sports business ventures along with her husband Alexis Ohanian, which allow her to uplift the world of sports, especially women’s sports.
