NEW YORK - Serena Williams said on Saturday the Covid-19 outbreak has not only given her a much needed stretch of downtime with her family, it has also turned her into a bit of a"neurotic" and"a recluse" given her past health scares.
"I've been a little bit of a recluse," Williams, 38, said on a video call from Lexington, Kentucky where she will compete in next week's Top Seed Open. Williams, who has also committed to playing in the Aug 31-Sept 13 US Open, said it was fun to finally return to tennis but the idea of travelling is not one she took lightly.
"Because at the end of the day it's cool to play tennis, but this is my life and this is my health, so I've been a little neurotic to an extent but that's just what I have to be right now."
