Tennis legend and entrepreneur Serena Williams hints at a bold new chapter with a powerful social media post. Is it a new business venture, investment move-or something bigger?
From the very start of her career, Serena Williams has openly described herself as a perfectionist. In her own words:
“I’m a perfectionist. I’m pretty insatiable. I feel like there are a lot of things I can improve on.”
She once shared a childhood memory about learning to write the alphabet. When she couldn’t write a perfect “A,” she stayed up all night rewriting it while her sisters slept. That relentless drive for perfection defined her early years-but with time, she’s learned that not everything has to be perfect.
Lessons from the court and motherhood
A turning point came during the 2020 Australian Open. After defeating Tamara Zidanek in the second round, Williams admitted in the post-match press conference:
“I was making a lot of errors… I just have to say, ‘It’s okay. Not every match is going to be perfect.'”
Later, motherhood added a new layer to that lesson. In an interview with Glamour, she spoke candidly about the pressure many moms feel to be flawless:
You don’t have to be perfect. But no matter how many times I heard that, I kept feeling like I had to be. That’s what moms do… My respect for moms, including my own, just skyrocketed.”
A cryptic tweet sends fans into speculation
As the 2025 French Open grabbed headlines, Serena Williams stirred curiosity with a cryptic post on X (formerly Twitter):
“You don’t have to be perfect. Just unstoppable. #JustGettingStarted”
The tweet sparked immediate buzz. Is Serena hinting at a new business venture? A return to tennis in some form? Or something else entirely?
