“I’m going to be 41 this month, and something has to happen,” Williams wrote in an article published Tuesday by Vogue magazine.
Williams says she doesn’t like the word retired, preferring to think of this phase of her life as “evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me.”
Serena will play this week in Toronto on the WTA Premier 1000 hard courts leading up to the US Open, the final Grand Slam event of the year, which begins in New York on August 29.

On Monday, Williams played in just her second singles match since returning to action at Wimbledon in June after a year’s absence, defeating Spain’s Nuria Parrizas.
