Serena Williams has done it all. Be it overachieving in tennis, being a mother, or in business, there is nothing in the world that she cannot do.

One such person who thinks that Serena Williams is made for more is none other than her childhood coach, Rick Macci.

Rick Macci has always spoken highly of the tennis legend. And recently in an interview with the ES Fancast, he talked about how even though Serena Williams has ended her career in tennis, she still has a lot to offer to the world, especially by inspiring future generations. Macci believes that Serena Williams had a perfect career, however, he also believes that her story is far from over.

Rick Macci said, “She ended on her terms. It started with the US Open and it ended with the US Open. She has inspired not only the African-American community but so many other people around the world. But I still believe that with her platform and her brain, the best is still yet to come from Serena Williams.”

Rick Macci has worked very closely with the Williams sisters and is aware of the kind of impact they had and also the kind of potential they hold. That is why he firmly believes that the junior Williams has much more to offer to the world than what she has now.
