she said of Williams<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cBut if you love to play, why not? I mean, she\u2019s all set in life. She doesn\u2019t need it financially, and she enjoys it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI met her when she was six and Venus was seven at a tennis clinic we gave in Long Beach, California. They came with their dad Richard. It was an amazing day. I\u2019ll never forget it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had the kids hit back and forth from the audience. Because they\u2019re so exceptional. You could see right away they\u2019re exceptional.<\/p>\n
\u201cPersonally, I would love it [if Williams came back].\u201d<\/p>\n
During her 27-year career, Williams won 73 WTA titles and spent a total of 319 weeks at the top of the rankings. She won a total of $94,816,730 in prize money, which is more than any other female player in history.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want everyone to understand one thing about Serena. Serena has the most beautiful service game in the world, ever. No one\u2019s ever had a better technique on their serve than Serena Williams,\u201d King continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw it when she was six years old. I saw her serve. I went: \u2018Oh my God, don\u2019t change a thing\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf she does come back, I want people to appreciate her serve. Pete Sampras and I used to talk about it. Her serve is so perfect technically. All the kids out there that want to be great, watch her serve.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer serve is the all-time technique ever in the history of the game, still.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since playing her last WTA match, Williams has ventured into numerous business investments, working as the managing partner of Serena Ventures. She has two children \u2013 Olympia, 7, and Adira, 2 \u2212 with husband Alexis Ohanian.<\/p>\n
