Serena Williams had previously announced her intention to retire from professional tennis and focus on expanding her family, which she highlighted in a Vogue essay last August. In the essay, she mentioned that although she didn’t favor the term “retirement,” she saw her path as one of evolution, prioritizing her family over her tennis career.
The tennis champion also shared her health struggles following the birth of her daughter Olympia in 2017. In an essay for Elle, Serena detailed the challenges she faced after undergoing a cesarean section. She recounted a frightening experience when she feared she might be suffering from a pulmonary embolism due to her history of blood clots. Having dealt with blood clots in her lungs since 2010, she expressed her ongoing fear of their recurrence.
Serena described how she alerted the hospital staff about her concerns but initially felt unheard. Through her persistence, a nurse eventually contacted her doctor, leading to further medical examination that revealed the presence of several blood clots. This situation necessitated multiple operations.
