Williams stated, “I have never liked the word retirement. “Evolution might be the best word to describe what I’m doing,” he said.
These days, she continued, “if I have to pick between building my family and building my tennis resume, I prefer the latter.
Williams also spoke openly about the health issues she was experiencing after giving birth to Olympia in 2017.

She claimed in the post that she discovered she had pulmonary blood clots in 2010 and that ever then, “I’ve lived in fear of their returning. I have a significant risk of blood clots, therefore it wasn’t an isolated incident.
The hospital personnel was informed, but she said that “no one was really listening to what I was saying.”
