Serena Williams has raised doubts over her participation at the Tokyo Olympics due to the current travel restrictions in place which is preventing her from taking her three-year-old daughter with her in July.
The 39-year-old is the joint most successful Olympian in tennis history alongside her sister Venus having won one Gold Medal in Singles and three in doubles.
But the decision not to allow international visitors to the Games, including family members of athletes, could result in Williams - whose daughter Olympia is three - opting not to take part.
“I haven’t really thought much about that,” she said. “That’s a really good question. I haven’t spent 24 hours without her, so that kind of answers the question itself. We’re best friends.”
“I have really been taking it one day at a time to a fault, and I definitely need to figure out my next moves.” Williams is returning to action for the first time since losing in the semi-finals of the Australian Open at this week’s Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome.
“I feel good. I’m in Rome. I’m going to have some good matches here, hopefully, and then I will be at another Grand Slam, which always makes me excited. So I think either way I’ll be ready.” (Agencies)
