Four-time Wimbledon winner Serena Williams has hit back at suggestions that she and sister Venus could be ready to retire from tennis.
After more than a decade as two of the sport's most dominant forces, Serena and Venus head into Wimbledon, which starts today, without a Grand Slam title between them since 2010.
The American sisters are in their 30s and have never hidden their desire to pursue off-court interests in fashion and show business.
That, combined with a decline in their performances, has led to a belief they could be ready to call it quits.
Venus, 32, has struggled to recover from Sjogren's syndrome, an auto-immune disease that causes fatigue and joint pain, and the five-time Wimbledon champion will be unseeded at the All England Club for the first time since 1997 after dropping to 55th in the world rankings.
