Alizé Cornet Chats with Serena Williams: The Game, the Challenges, and Beyond
Alizé Cornet: Hey Serena! It’s awesome to finally sit down and chat. How have you been?
Serena Williams: Alizé, it’s great to catch up! Life’s been a whirlwind, as always. Between family, business ventures, and just trying to find a moment to breathe, it’s been busy. How about you? I see you’re still battling it out on the court with that signature fiery spirit of yours!
Alizé Cornet: Oh, you know me! I can’t stay away from the game. But tell me more about your off-court life. How’s the motherhood journey treating you?
Serena Williams: Motherhood is intense but so rewarding. Olympia keeps me on my toes, in ways different from tennis. It’s like entering a new arena every day. How do you handle the grind of the tour and keep up your enthusiasm after so many years?
Alizé Cornet: Honestly, it’s the love for competition and the fans. Every match, whether I win or lose, teaches me something. Plus, the adrenaline rush? That’s irreplaceable. Speaking of competition, I have to say, your comeback story is legendary. How do you mentally gear up for those big wins?
Serena Williams: It’s all about mental resilience! Tennis is as much a mental game as it is physical. Visualization before matches, keeping a mantra, and, of course, learning to stay calm under pressure—those are my keys. But hey, you’re known for your tenacity too! What’s your secret?
Alizé Cornet: I think it’s a mix of stubbornness and passion. I set small goals and celebrate small victories, which keeps me motivated. Also, having a solid support system around really helps. Speaking of support, how do you manage to stay so involved in so many varied projects outside of tennis?
Serena Williams: Prioritizing and time management are essential. I’ve also learned to delegate and trust my team. And then there’s the drive to create a legacy that extends beyond tennis. From my fashion line to my venture fund, it’s about making a lasting impact. But tell me, Alizé, what’s next for you? Any big plans on the horizon?
Alizé Cornet: I’ve been dabbling in some writing, which has been refreshing! I’m also passionate about using my platform to advocate for mental health in sports. It’s something close to my heart. And hey, if there’s one thing I’ve learned from watching you, it’s that possibilities are limitless!
Serena Williams: That’s fantastic! The game needs voices like yours. Speaking up about mental health is so crucial. Well, here’s to fighting the good fight, both on and off the court. Keep shining, Alizé!
Alizé Cornet: You too, Serena. Thanks for the chat! It’s been inspirational as always.
