One of her title wins? A particular match? Her marriage? The birth of her adorable child? Serena Williams’ career has been overloaded with so many glorious pit stops. And on the ‘Wellness With Venus’ program on YouTube, the American spoke about the two incidents that she places above the rest. “Well, I would say Australia 2005 in the semifinal. That was fun. No, no, no, 2003. That was really important for my career,” quoted the 39-year-old.

In a candid chat with Venus, she elaborated the importance of her semifinal victory in Melbourne that year. “I needed to win that match [against Clijsters] and I ended up winning the Open after that. [To Venus] Where were you in 2003? I wore those short shorts, I don’t know where you were. So that was really important for my career because who knows what would’ve happened to my mental health if I’d lost that match.” Speaking of her off-court highlight, Serena reiterated the value that her daughter brought into her life. “Off the court, probably Olympia.”
