The 23-time Grand Slam champion also reminisced about her playing days. She said she missed playing in front of the world even though she was unaware of it because of the stress and pressure that the game brings.

I'm going, to be honest, it hasn't been easy. It was all good when I was pregnant. And now that I'm not anymore, it's like, Oh I miss you so much. I am doing so many things for different businesses. But tennis obviously was my first love, and it will always be my first love, and it's something that I will always be so passionate about.
