The greatest empress in the history of the WTA, Serena Williams, is about to retire

Serena Williams, used to be called Serena Williams (to distinguish her sister Venus Williams), the greatest professional female tennis player in the history of the WTA who has ruled the WTA for more than thirty years, and has made many female players in the WTA feel frightened and dream of grand slams, was interviewed by the latest issue of VOGUE magazine, saying, "I never liked the word retirement, it is not fashionable at all, I must use this word very carefully, in fact, I want to call what I am going to do evolution, I'm going to evolve from tennis to something more important. ", hinting that he is about to retire. Although the specific time is not specified, but according to the current status and participation plans, this year's US Open is likely to be the last time she will stand on the professional tennis court, so can Serena Williams achieve a glorious history of 24 Grand Slam women's singles crowns this year? At this time, Xiaobian sincerely hopes that she will win the championship. Even if you can't win the 24th crown, it doesn't affect that Serena is a professional women's tennis in the history of GOAT, the greatest achievement and historical status of the greatest empress.

Serena Williams, born on September 26, 1981 in Sekino, Michigan, USA, as the greatest athlete in the history of WTA women's professional tennis (here, Xiaobian does not accept any rebuttal), since the official start of her tennis career in 1995, a total of 73 singles titles of that kind, including 23 Grand Slam women's singles titles, 5 WTA year-end finals women's singles champions and 1 Olympic women's singles champion, in addition to 14 Grand Slam women's doubles titles, 2 Grand Slam mixed doubles titles, Three-time Olympic women's doubles champion, 10-time Grand Slam women's singles runner-up and two-time WTA year-end finals women's singles runner-up, with a career total of $94,524,403. He is the only professional player in the history of men's and women's tennis who has set four grand slams, Olympic singles and doubles golden slams.

I remember that Serena williams said that she would not leave the tennis world alone, unless Dawei retired, so would Dawei really retire with Serena at the US Open this year? Oh my God, this is simply the biggest loss in the world professional tennis world, dare not continue to think about it!

Below are the main entries in Serena's career.
