Serena Williams put tennis on the map - Tennis fans praise American legend following her retirement after US Open 3R defeat

By Parag Jain Modified 03 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Serena Williams hangs up her racquet After nearly 27 years of ruling the tennis world and inspiring millions around the globe, Serena Williams has retired from professional tennis. In her third-round match at the 2022 US Open, she lost 7-5, 6-7(4), 6-1 to Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic, marking an end to her glorious career. In an on-court interview after the match, the American icon, with tears of joy in her eyes, thanked her parents and her fans, who always supported her. She also stated that her sister Venus Williams was the reason why she achieved everything in tennis. "Thank you, Daddy, I know you're watching. Thanks, Mom. And I wouldn't be Serena if it wasn't for Venus. So, thank you, Venus. She's the only reason Serena Williams ever existed," she said. Williams announced her decision to retire after the US Open swing earlier in August. Turning pro in October 1995, the 23-time Grand Slam champion raised the level of tennis during her career like few others. Emotional fans expressed gratitude towards the 40-year-old, wishing her well for the future. "Two decades of complete dominance and putting Tennis on the map. Unparralleled levels of greatness. There ain't too many athletes that have that type of influence," a fan tweeted. capo@missionarymelo@BleacherReport Two decades of complete dominance and putting Tennis on the map.

She's the reason many started following the sport, the reason many women play the sport today.

An absolute inspiration.

I want to have a little bit of a life while I m still walking - Serena Williams

Serena Williams during her last match After her last match as a professional tennis player, Serena Williams was asked if there was any scenario in which she would return to the court again. The American legend stated that she wasn't thinking about it and that since she was still young in the world outside of sports, she was ready to explore another version of herself. I don't know. I'm not thinking about that. I always did love Australia, though. But yeah, I've come a long way since last year at Wimbledon. Just not sure if that was my last moment or not. Clearly I'm still capable. It takes a lot more than that. I'm ready to, like, be a mom, explore a different version of Serena. Technically in the world I'm still super young, so I want to have a little bit of a life while I'm still walking," she said.
