We all know Serena Williams as one of the greatest tennis players of all time but she is so much more than that. She is also a businesswoman and has recently extended her business empire. Check out what she launched in partnership with long-time coach Patrick Mouratoglou.

Serena Williams already has her own clothing line, with further investments in 34 startups. To add to this empire, she and her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, announced they are launching a new website called ‘Tennis Majors’ in a statement to Forbes.

Serena and Patrick are both investors in this project. They will be contributing to the site in their own ways through their expertise and network. Also, Patrick Mouratoglou’s tennis academy, which was founded in 2016, will be used to film some of the content on the site.

It looks like Serena Williams is getting deeper into the business world which perhaps signals she may retire soon. This should come as no surprise to anyone. Serena is getting older and has a daughter who she wants to spend more time with. So, why is she still on the WTA Tour?

The answer is simple – she wants to become the GOAT of women’s tennis. Currently, Serena Williams has a tally of 23 Grand Slams, which is one short of Margaret Court’s 24. Beating this record would cement Serena’s status as the GOAT of women’s tennis without a shadow of a doubt.

She has come close on many occasions in the last couple of years. She reached 4 Grand Slam finals between 2018 and 2019 but, sadly, lost all of them. And now, her plans to beat the record have been derailed by the coronavirus pandemic which has suspended the WTA Tour.

Serena is probably working harder than ever to beat that record and when the WTA Tour returns in July, we can expect her to finally make it happen.
