Serena Williams is the most successful active tennis player currently. The 40-year-old is among the greatest of the games. Having won 23 Grand Slam, she is still up and going. After a long gap of almost one year, she surprised everyone with a comeback in the Wimbledon Championship 2022.

Any discussion about Women’s tennis will be incomplete without mentioning her name. However, the former world number once revealed that she does not love the sport. It’s strange to even imagine Serena saying this. However, this is what she said.

Serena doesn’t love tennis

In what could be called a shocking admission, back in 2012, Serena Williams revealed that she does not love tennis. In fact, she doesn’t love any sports. “I mean, I don’t love tennis today, but I’m here, and I can’t live without it. So I’m here and don’t want to go anywhere anytime soon… It’s not that I’ve fallen out of love; I’ve actually never liked sports,” she said.

Further, Serena said she hates anything that includes physical activity and would rather love sitting down or shopping. “I never understood how I became an athlete … I don’t like working out, I don’t like anything that has to do with working physically … Anything that involves sitting down or shopping I am excellent at that,” she added.
