It wasn’t cryptic. I literally am ready to hit balls. I haven’t hit in a long time. It’s my life, and I love it and I miss it so much. I did learn I shouldn’t post it on Twitter, because people think I’m coming back, and I’m like, ‘No.‘

said Serena Williams via New York Times

Nonetheless, the 23-time Singles Grand Slam champion is enjoying retirement, experiencing a new life other than tennis. Even though she misses the sport, Williams is excited about the change in routines.

Never actually. I never do. Which is good, right? I had such an amazing career, and quite frankly, I should have had 30. I feel like I could have had way more than 24.
added Serena Williams

She also mentioned that she had put too much pressure on herself, which did not allow her to reach the 24th title. After a dominating career, the American suffered 4 losses in Grand Slam finals in the latter phase, which she could have easily converted into titles. Nevertheless, she is happy with her career and enjoys the next phase of her life.
