Serena Williams admits she misses competing “every day” but also added that she feels better when she realizes that she is not anymore required to train for at least eight hours per day. Williams, 41, ended her pro career after last year’s Us Open.
“Every day I miss playing then I think about training for 8+hrs a day. It’s not that bad right?” Williams tweeted.

Before and after the US Open, Williams never completely shut down the doors on the possibility of playing again.
Because of that, some believe that there is definitely a chance of seeing Williams back in action. In mid-February, Williams admitted to “feeling torn” because she believes she “can still play at a very high level. “I for sure feel more at peace now.
It’s interesting. I think I feel torn because I’m still able to play at a very, very, very high level. With that being said, I always wanted to leave the game playing at a very high level. But it’s hard because it’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, I could still play, and I could still do all that stuff.’
But I’m inch by inch leaning away, inch by inch embracing it,” Williams told E! News.
