  • A lot of people wind their way into middle age having achieved some measure of career success, only to ask themselves, well, now what?

  • And apparently this happens even if you're Serena Williams.

  • Serena, who's now 42 years old, retired from competitive tennis a little under two years ago.

  • She'd won 23 grand slams, more than any woman in the open era and just one shy of the all time record.

  • Her level of fame and achievement, both on and off the court, broke boundaries for black women and women athletes in general.

  • She is, by just about any account, the best ever at what she did.

  • Since she retired, Williams has directed that drive at some new projects.

  • She's got a venture capital fund and just launched a makeup line.

  • And she and her husband, Reddit co founder Alexis Ohanian, have two small girls, so it's not exactly like she's been idle.

  • But the tennis court still calls.

  • She's gone back to it, in a way, with a new eight part documentary called in the arena, Serena Williams, which will stream on ESPN next month.

  • And she told me that revisiting her career through the series has been the first chance she's had to sit back and take in everything she accomplished.
