London: Defiant Venus Williams made it clear she has no intention of retiring following her painful Wimbledon exit.

Venus’s 5-7, 7-6 (2), 7-5 third round defeat against fellow former champion Petra Kvitova on Friday means the five-time Wimbledon winner has failed to reach the last-16 at a major since 2011.

At 34, Venus was the oldest woman left in the singles and she has been plagued for the last three years by Sjogren’s Disease – an immune system disease that leaves her battling fatigue and joint pain.

“I’m not getting out of here,” Williams told reporters when asked about retirement. “I think this year has been a great year for me. I’ve had some tough losses, but I’ve learned a lot from them. I’m finding my way back on my feet. I’m proud of myself for what I’m achieving on the court.” (AFP)
