“I mean, I don't love tennis today, but I'm here, and I can't live without it … so I'm still here and I don't want to go anywhere any time soon," Williams said. "It's not that I've fallen out of love; I've actually never liked sports, and 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.”
Williams has a number of off-court interests, including fashion design and the occasional foray into acting. The American said her other interests keep her motivated to play tennis.
“I just want to be able to do other things I am doing and expand on that - I think that will help keep my motivation up (in tennis)," the 30-year-old said.
Yet she isn’t afraid to admit that she has thought about life after she retires.
"I have always been preparing myself for life after tennis,” she said.
