Venus Williams has warned her rivals that she has not even entertained the thought of retiring while she remains at the pinnacle of women's tennis.
Williams is preparing to defend her Wimbledon Singles title this week, a Grand Slam she has made her own since claiming her first crown in 2000.
"I'm still here and I don't think I'm going to be leaving any time soon," she said. "It's been a real blessing to be a success here and to still be playing great tennis at this point in my career.
Still capable
"I still think I'm capable of playing here for many years to come I hope so, at least.
"I'm going to be 30 next year, so why not? I do see myself coming back and I see myself coming here in Olympics year, 2012, which really isn't that far off. To win more gold medals would be incredible, that's my favourite event."
