Serena Williams Contemplates Life After Tennis

Fresh off of her grand slam victory at Wimbledon, Serena Williams candidlyacknowledged the physical toll tennis has exacted on her body and an awareness that, at age 33, she has begun to position herself for life after tennis.

“We were so fast,” Serena said of herself and her sister, Venus, in an interviewpublished in Wednesday’s issue of New York magazine, before laughing at her inadvertent slippage into the past tense. “We are,” she said. “We were. Gosh, is this over?”
