Wondermind is a startup, co-founded by singer-cum-actor Gomez. The platform’s main objective is to raise awareness and “democratise and destigmatize mental health globally." When Gomez asked Williams what mental fitness meant to her, the 23-time Grand Slam champion stated that over the years, she had developed a habit of shutting herself down.

The tennis icon added that when she shuts herself down, she builds boundaries that no one is allowed to cross.

Serena Williams’ match with Emma Raducanu postponed

Serena Williams and Emma Raducanu were scheduled to meet each other in the first round of the Cincinnati Masters on Monday. However, the match was postponed by a day and will now take place on Tuesday. A spokesperson for the WTA 1000 tournament said that the change was made “on account of a number of factors related to scheduling.” The winner will face Belarusian Victoria Azarenka in the second round.

This will be the first and most likely, the last time that Raducanu will face her idol, who is set to retire after the US Open. The 19-year-old Brit is excited to share the court with the American legend, calling the opportunity a “great gift.”
