Serena Williams announces retirement from tennis
Serena Williams, an American tennis player, has announced that she would retire following the US Open.
Serena Williams made this disclosure in a heartfelt message on Tuesday.
The 40-year-old said, “I’m here to tell you that I’m evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me.
“But I’ve been reluctant to admit to myself or anyone else that I have to move on from playing tennis. Alexis, my husband, and I have hardly talked about it; it’s like a taboo topic.
“I can’t even have this conversation with my mom and dad. It’s like it’s not real until you say it out loud. It comes up, I get an uncomfortable lump in my throat, and I start to cry. The only person I’ve really gone there with is my therapist

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.
In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.
As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.
“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.
“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”

Benzema won it during a brilliant season leading the attack for Real Madrid as they won LaLiga and the Champions League in 2022.
