Serena Williams, a 23-time grand slam champion, hints that she is retiring from tennis.
"There comes a time in life when we have to decide to go in a different direction," Williams posted on Instagram.
"That moment is always difficult when you love something so much. My God, how I enjoy tennis. But now, the countdown has begun. I have to focus on being a mother, on my spiritual goals and finally discovering a different Serena, but just exciting. I'm going to savor these next few weeks."
