Vinus Williams declined the opportunity to end his career and even said he was looking forward to the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. The 37-year-old tennis player made a strong season in the absence of her sister Serena and climbed not fifth in the women`s rankings after losing the finals in Melbourne, Wimbledon and the WTA championship. Williams is the winner of seven Grand Slam trophies and has five Olympics behind, the first of which in 2000. She has three gold medals in pairs with Serena and one on a single. `I do not intend to stop shortly, Tokyo 2020 is already on the horizon, and it seems unrealistic, I will try to stick to the court for this Olympics, ` she said in an interview for Entrepreneur Magazine. Season 2017 marked the return of legends. 35-year-old Serena Williams won the Australian Open and retired due to pregnancy, the 31-year-old Spaniard Rafael Nadal picked up six trophies and topped the men`s rankings, and 35-year-old Roger Federer finished seven titles and second in the ATP rankings. They also split the trophies from the Grand Slam. Williams sisters will play next season as Serena returns from motherhood.
