Serena Williams intends to play WTA Finals if she qualifies: source
Per Christoper Clarey, Serena Williams still intends to play the WTA Finals in Shenzhen if she qualifies. The American is the eighth and last player to be in the field per now but Kiki Bertens may soon overcome her. Serena last played the WTA Finals in 2014 winning the title after beating Simona Halep in a championship clash.
Serena spoke about the reasons why she opened several schools in Africa welcoming many unprivileged children. “That was just my main goal for as long as I can remember. I gotta get back to Africa”, said the 38-year-old.
“I want to see my roots, where I’m from. I want to see the struggle. I want to see the slave castles. I need to see that journey. I just wouldn’t have felt full if I had never experienced that.” Serena also spoke about how she managed to learn French: “One of the reasons I learned French was I wanted to win the French Open, and I wanted to speak French when I won.
