So..... you wanna go back on tour?
"My new excuse for not going to the gym has landed": Tennis fans react hilariously to Serena Williams' take on working out post retirement

Serena Williams shared a message with her fans, stating that she doesn't enjoy training with the goal of competing.
It's been over a year since Serena Williams retired in the third round of the US Open, where she lost to the Australian Alja Tomljanovic, amid the excitement of the Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing Meadows.
Throughout her career, Williams won an impressive total of 23 Grand Slam titles: seven at the Australian Open, three at Roland Garros, seven at Wimbledon, and six at the US Open.

Additionally, she secured 14 Grand Slam titles in doubles, all alongside her sister Venus Williams, and two mixed doubles titles, both with Belarusian player Max Mirny in 1998.
The former world No. 1 took to her social media to share a message about working out without the goal of competing, and she received responses from her husband and many of her fans:
“I’m not used to working out with no goal or to be honest - no championship in my mind. This is super weird,” Williams wrote.
“So… you wanna go back on tour?” respond her husband Alexis Ohanian.
Following the tweets shared by Serena Williams and her husband, some fans have speculated about the possible return of the American legend to the tennis courts:
“Think of the championship as a really long life with high vitality & health-span, that let’s you meet your great grandkids! Ultimate championship if you ask me”
Think of the championship as a really long life with high vitality & health-span, that let’s you meet your great grandkids! 🙏🏽 Ultimate championship if you ask me 😊
“To be honest this is a great msg to younger athletes. Every practice should have plan and purpose. The overall training should have a goal on annual basis and of course long term vision. Thank you #Serena,”

Always having a goal in mind is only one way to live your life. No need to abandon that entirely, but I encourage you to explore other ways of being. There is incredible freedom and creativity in letting your mind wander, unexpected discovery, and the power of serendipity.

Enjoy and come back STRONGER and HAVE FUN! you are the 🐐!!!
Come back, one more time. One more year. Try qualifying for US Open 2024 and after it say goodbye again.
The life of a former athlete. I’ve worked with many in my career. Those goals for working out need be re-channeled towards something else as motivating and inspirational.
A powerful vision and goal is to continue being fit, able bodied, having a sound mind, and functional system from now through old age… which won’t happen if you allow yourself to abandon the self care of working out.
Then set a new big goal. Run a marathon, climb a mountain, win Wimbledon. #ideas
