Serena Williams Contemplates Life After Tennis

Fresh off of her grand slam  victory  at Wimbledon, Serena Williams candidly acknowledged  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 interview published  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?” Not that the tennis champ has a shortage of opportunities beyond court. She said she and her sister “brought fashion back to tennis” with a new line of athletic clothing, and is currently modeling her latest clothing line in an eye-popping photo shoot.
