Few voices were left to speak out about the recent doping case of Jannik Sinner and his recent three-month suspension for breaking the rules. While the world number one, who maintains his position, is preparing for his return to the circuit at the Rome Masters 1000, Serena Williams expresses her controversial point of view on the case, making it clear that if something similar were to happen to her, it would have been a massive scandal. 

Do you miss tennis?

"I miss it a lot, from the bottom of my heart. I miss it because I am healthy. If I couldn't walk, or if I were very out of shape, I wouldn't miss it as much. I think I'm healthy because I didn't overplay," Serena confessed in an interview with Time. "Another reason I had to make the transition was because I wanted to have more kids. And I look at Adira and think, 'Was it worth it?' I literally thought about it the other day. I said to myself, 'Yes, it was definitely worth it'".

About Jannik Sinner's doping case

"He's a fantastic personality. I love the guy, I love his game. He's great for this sport. I've been underrated a lot, and I don't want to belittle anyone; men's tennis needs him, I'm really looking forward to his return in Rome. If it had been me instead of Sinner, I would have been hit with 20 years, I would have ended up in prison. Let's be honest. They would have taken away Grand Slams from me. You would've heard about it even in another multiverse."

The controversy surrounding her performance at the Superbowl with Kendrick Lamar: Was it directed against Drake?

There were many debates that arose when Serena Williams was identified as one of the star dancers a few months ago during Kendrick Lamar's famous Superbowl musical performance. Many believed her appearance was against Drake, the person the song is aimed at: "I didn't do it against Drake at all, I would never do that. It's sad that someone could think that. Obviously, I understand that someone could think that, but not at all. I've never had negative feelings towards him. We've known each other for so many years...".

Focusing on business and somewhat removed from the circuit, Serena Williams hopes that the competitive fire will diminish over the years, and that it will grow stronger once the physical aspect becomes more challenging. The American says that, if it were up to her, she would return for another two years, although it's clear that right now she doesn't have the time to get involved in a situation that would demand 100% of the champion.
