Venus Williams Addresses Retirement Speculation

In recent interviews, Venus Williams addressed misconceptions about her retirement, humorously attributing them to her sister Serena Williams' retirement in 2022. Venus, 44, clarified that while people often confuse the two sisters and assume they are twins, she remains an active player and has not set a retirement date. Despite the emotional weight she once anticipated from retiring, Venus has come to terms with her journey in tennis, expressing gratitude for her experiences rather than sadness. She emphasized that she has given everything to the sport and feels confident she won't cry when the time comes to retire. Meanwhile, she continues to engage in various projects, including promoting her latest book, 'Strive: 8 Steps to Find Your Awesome'. Although she has played only two tournaments this year, she firmly stated, 'I’m not done with the racket yet.'
