Serena spoke about Woods’ presence while speaking to the media.
“He’s one of the reasons I’m here, one of the main reasons I’m still playing,” Williams said. “So we talked a lot. He was really trying to get me motivated. We were like, ‘Okay, we can do this together’, you know? It was good because I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I was just lost, so many questions. When you can rely on someone like that, I mean, my goodness, he’s Tiger Woods, it was really helpful to get clarity.”.
