"But I'm not looking
for some ceremonial, final on-court moment. I'm terrible at goodbyes, the
world's worst. But please know that I am more grateful for you than I can ever
express in words. You have carried me to so many wins and so many trophies. I'm
going to miss that version of me, that girl who played tennis. And I'm going to
miss you."
She added that she is
retiring to spend more time with her husband, Alexis, and their five-year-old,
Olympia.
The 23-time Grand Slam
singles winner also revealed that she is trying to have another child shortly.
She wrote: "In the
last year, Alexis and I have been trying to have another child, and we recently
got some information from my doctor that put my mind at ease and made me feel
that whenever we're ready, we can add to our family
"I don't want to be
pregnant again as an athlete. I need to be two feet into tennis or two feet
out."
