“What a Joy It Was to Watch Her Play”: Tom Brady Goes Gaga Over Serena Williams’ Last US Open and Her Irreplaceable Role in Tennis

2022 marked a lot of things in the sports industry. However, the Tennis world also saw an icon bidding adieu to the court. After her 2022 US Open run, Serena Williams retired. Even though it was pre-announced, it had a heavy impact on the sports and athletic world. Tom Brady echoed Williams’ career during his recent podcast appearance. He extended his respect to the multi-time Grand Slam winner.

Tom Brady, Jim Gray, and Larry Fitzgerald opened season two of SiriusXM’s Let’s Go! Podcast. They touched upon various topics and reflected on Serena Williams’ tennis career. Brady had nothing but praise for the star and also expressed how they did the same thing.

When GOAT recognizes GOAT

Tom Brady mentioned, “Serena accomplished so much. What a joy it was to watch her play. She’s a friend of mine, and I just love her intensity, her competitiveness. Tennis won’t be the same without her. But you know what, tennis enjoyed a long run of great years with her in it and competing at the highest level, so you know that’s how you feel when you see LeBron James, Steph Curry, Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, Tiger Woods. these amazing players that have transcended sports and time and have laid it all out on the field, I think that’s what she means.”

TB12 also stated that she did not play for a while and then realized how much fun it is to participate. It does not feel good to be in the center. You assume it will be there, but it does not. Then they realize it, go out and play, and have fun.

Brady could surely see some Déjà vu moment as he did the same thing too. Nevertheless, the Tennis fans relished the moment. If Brady goes off the field, the NFL fans might have their last moment to see the GOAT.

Did Serena Williams hit a jab toward Tom Brady?

As Tom Brady comes off the retirement bench for the 23rd season, Serena Williams puts down the racquet. However, she may have made a dig towards the NFL GOAT in her retirement letter for Vogue.

Williams mentioned she wouldn’t be retiring if she was a guy, as she would perform and conquer as the wife did the physical job of growing the family. If they gave the champ that chance, she’d be more like Tom Brady. Williams used Brady’s name to emphasize the distinction between being a male and a female in athletics.
