Jason Smith: āShe played really well, I donāt think sheās going to hang it up. She did say LeBron started a new trend... Serena went into the tournament saying āif Iām going to have a bad outing I know itās time but if not Iāll give it another shot.ā She prepared & played really well... Any competitor knows that theyāre done when theyāre really done, you never got that sense with Serena. She knows she still has stuff left, she isnāt going to walk away! You donāt do that! You do it when you have nothing left. You want to walk away saying I gave everything I had. Serena playing well clearly opened the door to this conversation.ā
Mike Harmon: āIf you have that good of a run at the US Open, there is no way youāre retiring. When youāre that good, you always want to play one more time if you can. You always still have that itch. Once youāre actually gone itās really hard to get back to what you were & you have to remember retirement is long. Donāt take off that jersey unless you really know itās time.ā
Tonight on the Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon, the two best friends discussed Serena Williamsās performance at the US Open & both believe after her appearance on Good Morning America earlier today, she will come out of retirement & make a comeback just like legends Michael Jordan & Tom Brady.
