Many would have predicted that Williams may have retired after the Olympics but that is of course no longer the case due to Tokyo being postponed till next year. While she knows her career is in it's twilight, it is not over yet.

“I don’t think I was going to retire there at all,” she told Tennis Majors last week. “But we basically missed a year so we’ll see what happens.’

“(I will) Probably not play as long as I’ve already played. Let’s put it that way. I will not be like 80 on the court unless there’s like a circuit for me. I can play padel or something.’

“Outside of this, I don’t know. We’ll see how I feel. When you’re over it you’re over it.”

“I’d love to win the French Open,” she added. “I’ve come close. And the Australian, I’ve come close too, just unlucky there it seems?”
