Serena Williams, a recently retired tennis star, set another all-time record. According to social media platform Twitter statistics, Serena Williams is the most posted female athlete ever, so Serena Williams is "the greatest ever" whether on the pitch or on the schedule.

In the third round of the US Open last weekend, legendary star Serena Williams announced that she had "faded out of the tennis world" after losing to Australian Aguila Tomljanovic. The retirement of the four-time Olympic gold medalist and 23-time Grand Slam singles champion has caused widespread attention and impact on and off the pitch. Michelle Obama, the former first lady of the United States, posted on social media: "Congratulations on your amazing career, Serena Williams!" How fortunate we were to see a young girl from Compton grow into one of the greatest athletes of all time. ”

Golf legend Tiger Woods said, "You're the greatest on and off the court. Thank you for inspiring all of us to pursue our dreams. NBA star LeBron James also joined the bandwagon, saying, "Everything you've done for tennis, what you've done for women, is unprecedented." I'm honored to see your journey and see that you conquered all the goals you set. ”

In a way, Serena Williams' social recognition is more profound than her achievements on the pitch. According to data released yesterday by the social media platform Twitter, Serena Williams has published more articles on Twitter than any other female athlete, which can be called the "queen of female athletes posting" on social media. One of the most interesting figures is that from the beginning of last month until last Friday, 74% of all users who mentioned Williams on the platform had not previously posted about Williams. This confirms on another level that Serena Williams' retirement includes her own level of influence on a social level.

In celebration of Williams, Twitter created an exclusive "goat emoji" for her, declaring Serena Williams "the greatest ever." This is actually an abbreviation of the English terrier, and the English word for goat is the first letter set of "the greatest ever". Also honored with goats are American football legend Tom Brady, Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine football star Lionel Messi, all of whom received a dedicated goat from Twitter.

Whether it is the announcement of support for the "Black Lives are Also Lives" movement in 2015, or the gender equality movement that began to participate in the "equal pay for equal work for male and female players" in 2017, Serena Williams has used her personal influence to stand at the head of the social tide and live herself as a symbol of social culture, which is the difference between Serena williams and ordinary sports stars.
