Serena said she had 'evolved away from tennis, into other things that are important to me'.

Serena then noted that she plans to prioritise her family in the future.

'As an athlete I absolutely do not want to be pregnant again. I have to be two feet in tennis or two feet out,' she said.

The Williams sisters, aged 42 and 40 respectively, were joined by Naomi Osaka, Rafael Nadal and Nick Kyrgios at the event.
