Serena Williams announces upcoming retirement from tennis (The Hindu)

The 40-year-old won her last Grand Slam crown in 2017 and has been chasing an elusive 24th crown that will draw her level with Margaret Court.

"Maybe the best word to describe what I'm up to is evolution. "I have never liked the word retirement," Williams wrote in a Vogue article.. "It doesn't feel like a modern word to me.

I don't think it's fair," said Williams, who was pregnant when she won the 2017 Australian Open for her last Grand Slam trophy. "Maybe I thought about it too much, and that didn't help. Only one player, Margaret Court, collected more, 24, although she won a portion of hers in the amateur era.

Serena Williams announces plan to retire from tennis in the near ... (Firstpost)

Serena Williams has announced she will be retiring from the sport sometime after the US Open which gets underway on 29 August.

"I know there's a fan fantasy that I might have tied Margaret that day in London, then maybe beat her record in New York, and then at the trophy ceremony say, 'See ya!' I get that. With this win, India are at the top of Group 2 and have won all their matches. And the lead-up tournaments will be fun." I know that a lot of people are excited about and look forward to retiring, and I really wish I felt that way." “There comes a time in life when we have to decide to move in a different direction. "I've been reluctant to admit to myself or anyone else that I have to move on from playing tennis," Williams wrote.

Serena Williams, closer to the end than the middle, still believes (Moneycontrol.com)

For the better part of two decades, Williams dominated her sport unlike anyone else. She won 23 Grand Slam singles titles — the most recent, the Australian ...

Williams packed up her bags, waved to the crowd, and then, in an interview room a little while later, said the idea of playing in New York at the U.S. Open later in the summer, after some time on the practice courts, carried plenty of appeal. “Just being here shows that she has a lot of love for her work and for this game. “The only thing that shows is passion and love for the game,” Nadal said of her comeback attempt. There were flashbacks Tuesday. Williams surged to an early lead in the deciding set, then minutes later, she was fighting, down a game, though on serve, against the 115th-ranked player in the world, a 24-year-old who grew up watching her on television. But in the tiebreaker, she frittered away prosperity once more, allowing a 4-0 lead to become a 9-7 deficit. The Serena Williams of the past two decades has been so much more than a gifted athlete who knew what to do with 11 ounces of carbon fiber in her right hand. “I think it’s great that we have her back,” said Maria Sakkari of Greece, who called Williams a great role model. In addition to her usual slew of sponsors, Williams announced earlier this year that her early-stage venture capital firm, Serena Ventures, has raised an inaugural fund of $111 million to invest in founders with diverse points of view and backgrounds. Williams must, too, just as she did against Tan, a part of a deeper-than-ever WTA Tour where anyone can beat, or lose, to anyone else. For the better part of two decades, Williams dominated her sport unlike anyone else. A feathery drop shot late in the third set showed the touch that appears infrequently now. She became a successful businesswoman and a mother.

That is just three more than Serena Williams has won on her own. Steffi Graf is the only other woman to accomplish that feat. In 555 career matches against top-10 opponents, Williams owns a record of 435-120, which comes out to a jaw-dropping 78.0% win percentage. Perhaps the most impressive and lop-sided rivalry of Williams' career was against Maria Sharapova. Those two met 22 times throughout their careers, and Williams won a whopping 20 of them. The Grand Slam tournaments represent tennis' biggest stage, and Williams seems to love the spotlight they provide. Still, Serena Williams has frequently gotten the better of that matchup with a 19-12 record against Venus.

Serena Williams Heads Into Retirement As A Tennis Icon — And ... (Forbes)

The 23-time Grand Slam champion, who indicated in an essay for Vogue that she will retire after this month's U.S. Open, has earned $440 million across her ...

Many of Williams’ endorsements are likely to continue into her retirement, just as Sharapova has continued to promote Nike, Evian and Porsche. But her attention has increasingly turned to investing, primarily through Serena Ventures. The firm, which she formally announced in 2019 and which focuses on early-stage companies, has investments in more than 60 startups and announced in March that it had raised an inaugural fund of $111 million. Williams’ marketing success has paved the way for a new generation in women’s sports, including fellow tennis champion Naomi Osaka, who ranked 19th on this year’s highest-paid athletes with $59.2 million, including $58 million off the court, a record for a female athlete. When Sharapova retired in 2020 at 32, she had earned roughly $290 million off the court, more than $50 million behind Williams’ career total. In May, she landed at No. 31 in Forbes’ annual ranking of the world’s highest-paid athletes with $45.3 million—almost all of it from endorsements—despite having been sidelined by injuries for ten months. Sharapova outpaced her off the court for 11 straight years, for instance, even while Williams was piling up Grand Slams. But a late-career resurgence helped Williams end that streak in 2016, and there’s no arguing with her longevity. Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, expressed some frustration that she couldn’t solidify her claim as tennis’ greatest of all-time by passing Margaret Court’s record of 24 major titles.

The tennis champion wrote in a 2018 op-ed for CNN that she nearly died after giving birth after a pulmonary embolism sparked a slew of complications. "If I were a guy, I wouldn't be writing this because I'd be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labour of expanding our family.

Her serve was a gift, as were the powerful groundstrokes that she and Venus — her opponent in nine all-in-the-family Grand Slam finals — made a permanent part of the game. There were, to be sure, moments that she perhaps was not as proud of, confrontations with match officials that led to getting docked a point or a game in U.S. Open losses to Naomi Osaka and Kim Clijsters — maybe the sorts of episodes she was referring to in her essay when she said: “I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my career. “She is one of the greatest champions, an entrepreneur, a mother, an investor in women’s business ventures and an inspiration to women and girls across the world." They can wear what they want and say what they want and kick butt and be proud of it all." She stayed away from a tournament in California for years after she and her father heard racist taunts there. She talked about being a woman in tennis, about being a woman who dealt with complications in childbirth, about being a mother (her daughter, Olympic, turns 5 on Sept. 1, and Williams wants to have another baby).

Born on September 26, 1981, Serena Williams managed to etch her name in tennis folklore as one of the greatest players ever to have walked the earth.

Williams astonishingly managed to record the same feat yet again over the course of the 2014 and 2015 seasons. Unarguably the consensus G.O.A.T. when it comes to women's tennis, Serena Williams has truly done it all. It is when a player records Grand Slam wins on each of the three court surfaces, including clay, hard and grass. She laid claim to the title by outperforming her elder sister, Venus Williams, at the 2017 Australian Open. She performed the feat at the age of 35 years, 4 months and 2 days. Born on September 26, 1981, Serena Williams managed to etch her name in tennis folklore as one of the greatest players ever to have walked the earth. Her successes on some of the biggest platforms in world tennis, Grand Slams, validate the fearsome reputation that she has built over time.
