Is this the
end of Serena Williams?
A couple
weeks ago at the Australian Open Finals Serena Williams the number one ranked
tennis player for WTA (Women’s Tennis Association) lost to Angelique Kerber the
then 9th ranked player. In the epic three set battle left every
tennis fan shocked.
Ever since
then tennis critics have been questioning whether Serena is starting to weaken
and break down.
After losing
Serena said “I’m not a robot, and she truly played amazing” said Williams “she
deserves this.”
To be honest
Serena is nowhere near the end of her career. Last year when Serena was trying
to complete a career grand slam (winning all of the slams in one calendar
year), with all of the pressure she cracked and lost in the semis of the US
OPEN, the last grand slam.
Serena isn’t
done she wants to break the record of having 22 grand slam titles in the open
era, she currently has 21 and she doesn’t plan on stopping.
Even though
she is 34 she isn’t slowing down. Not to mention there really isn’t anyone on
the WTA that is close to her level.
In reality
Serena has at least a few more years before she should think about retirement,
and who know how many records she would’ve broken by then.
