Former World number 1 Serena Williams drops major retirement hint

Women's tennis star Serena Williams could be nearing the end of her illustrious career after she dropped a major hint.

Williams hinted her retirement is close after strolling to straight sets win at the National Bank Open in Canada to end a long wait for her first win on the court.

She defeated Nuria Parrizas-Diaz of Spain 6-4, 6-3 for her first win on the court since the French Open in 2021.

The National Bank Open is the second competition for the legendary Williams who made her return to competitive tennis last month in Wimbledon.

However, according to the 40-year-old, her excellent career could be nearing an end.

Speaking to the media after her first win in more than a year, Williams said while she enjoys the game, she can't wait to get to the end of her career.

 “I guess there's just a light at the end of the tunnel," She said as per Daily Express. "I don't know, I'm getting closer to the light, so, lately, that's been it for me. I can't wait to get to that light.”

“I love playing, though," she added. "But, you know, I can't do this forever. Sometimes you just want to try your best to enjoy the moments, and do the best that you can.”
