STANFORD, Calif. -- When you made your professional debut five years before one of your opponents at this weeks Bank of the West Classic was born, talk of retirement is bound to come up. For Venus Williams, the subject has been volleyed around fan sites and even mentioned by the on-court interviewer after her first match of the tournament.I get to live my dream every single day, the 36-year-old Williams responded on the court at Stanford University. Im not going to quit anytime soon.With a month like this one, why would she? After reaching the semifinals at Wimbledon -- her first Grand Slam semifinal since the 2010 U.S. Open -- Williams advanced to the final of the Bank of the West Classic, ensuring her best WTA ranking (No. 6) in five years despite Sundays 7-5, 5-7, 6-2 loss to Great Britains Johanna Konta.Williams was going for her 50th WTA title at the same event where she won her first professional match 22 years ago, a straight sets victory over former NCAA champion Shaun Stafford.I have no idea how I won the match [against Stafford], Williams said this week. I had no strategy and zero understanding on how to win a match.At her debut in 1994, Williams hadnt played a competitive game in more than three years. Father/coach Richard Williams had kept her out of the junior circuit, thinking that practicing with better opponents was more useful than dominating her peers.But Williams second pro match against world No. 2 Arantxa Sanchez Vicario showed how important veteran savvy and experience could be. After Williams went up 6-1, 3-3, Sanchez Vicario took a long bathroom break and then didnt lose another game.It was a pretty good strategy against a youngin, Williams said. But after a while, I got the hang of it.Now its her opponents who are the novices, including 17-year-old American CiCi Bellis, her quarterfinal opponent this week.Williams has gone on to win seven Grand Slam singles titles and is about to compete in her fifth Olympics. And she has seemed even more energized recently. When the Rio Games came up in an interview, Williams mentioned playing again in 2020. When she was asked if she was disappointed she couldnt win No. 50 here, Williams responded that shell have more chances.Im pretty much the most mature on tour, Williams said. There arent a lot of people older than me, but I take it as a compliment because I love being out here.Williams certainly showed signs of her age -- uh, maturity -- on Sunday, conserving energy by not going after some reachable shots. On a day that her sister Serena pulled out of the upcoming WTA event in Montreal with an inflamed shoulder, no one needed a reminder about the sports physical demands.Venus received some breaks during the week. Before the final, none of her matches started before 7 p.m. and her highest-ranked opponent was 78th-ranked American Alison Riske. But she also showed her fight. Down a set and two breaks at 1-4 in the second set and playing her third match in three days, Williams won 8 of 11 points on Kontas next two service games to delay Kontas first-ever WTA title.Five years after being diagnosed with Sjogrens Syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that causes fatigue, Williams has no plans of slowing down. If anything, Venus is loading up -- shes heading from Stanford to Montreal to play in the next tournament on the WTA schedule, and then shell play singles and doubles (with Serena) at the Olympics. In the prior two Olympic cycles, Williams took a break between Wimbledon and the Games.Speaking to the crowd at Stanford after Sundays final, Williams said she hopes to see them again next year.It proves you dont have to go until youre good and ready, Williams said. When Im good and ready, Ill be gone, but now is not the time.Cheap Shoes Wholesale . The 19-year-old Olsen played 34 games with the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL this season.
