As both their storied sporting careers wind down, Woods, 46, and Williams, 40, have forged a relationship in which she has turned to him as a mentor, she recently revealed to Vogue. Williams had played just four matches in the past 14 months, winning just once. Her last match before the US Open was a back-to-back error-ridden loss to 19-year-old Emma Raducanu on August 16 that lasted just 65 minutes. Her trip to Wimbledon this summer ended with a first-round loss and an injury when she slipped on wet grass. She was beginning to mentally prepare for what she calls her next step — business ventures and perhaps adding a family that includes 5-year-old daughter Olympia — but she wasn’t ready to give up the sport she turned professional in. a 14 year old. Enter the Woods. “I was talking to Tiger Woods, who is a friend, and I told him I needed his advice on my tennis career. I said, “I don’t know what to do: I think I’m over it, but maybe I’m not over it [tennis]Williams told Rob Haskell in Vogue. “He is the Tiger and he was adamant that I will become a beast in the same way that he is! “He said, ‘Serena, what if you just gave him two weeks?’ You don’t have to commit to anything. You just go out on the field every day for two weeks and give it your all and see what happens.’ I said, “Okay, I think I can do that.” “ Serena Williams fans celebrate the tennis star’s US Open match win over No. 2 Annette Contaveite in New York on August 31.

Williams said she waited a month and then returned to the court, where it “felt magical to pick up a racket again.” At that point, he said that “she was good. I was really good. I was going back and forth about whether to play Wimbledon and the US Open after that. As I’ve said, this whole evolution thing hasn’t been easy for me.” For now, its evolution is on hold. Next up at the US Open is Thursday night’s doubles with her sister Venus. On Friday, she will play unbeaten Ajla Tomljanovic and knows that, with the No.2 seed out of the way, the draw is briefly in her favor as she tries to equal Margaret Court’s record 24 Grand Slam singles titles. “I know there’s a fan fantasy that I might have tied Margaret up that day in London [at Wimbledon], then maybe break her record in New York, and then at the trophy ceremony say, ‘See you!’” Williams told Vogue. “… But I’m not looking for some last-minute on-field ritual. I’m terrible at goodbyes, the worst in the world. But please know that I am more grateful to you than I can ever express in words. You have led me to so many victories and so many trophies. I will miss this version of me, this girl who played tennis. And I will miss you.”
