Serena Williams Receives the Biggest Acknowledgment to Her Glorious Legacy and It’s Not From Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan Or LeBron James

Yesterday, we saw an emotional moment at the US Open as Serena Williams played her last match at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in front of her family and a massive crowd. After the match, she gave credit to many people for her success. However, one particular name stood out, i.e. Venus Williams.

Notably, Serena gave credit to her sister Venus for helping her to become one of the greatest tennis players. Recently, Venus also shared a post on social media, where she wrote an emotional message for her younger sister and called her the ‘GOAT’.

Earlier, the 7-time Grand Slam champion took to Instagram and wrote, “After 1 year after away from the game, there is still no one who can approach her level, her intensity her excitement, her entertainment. There will never be another @serenawilliams her legacy lives on in all those she inspired to greatness, me included!”

“No one has affected the game, or sport, the way she has. Tennis won’t be the same without its GOAT,“ she further wrote. Notably, during her on-court interview after the third-round match, Serena said, “I wouldn’t be Serena if there wasn’t Venus, so thank you, Venus!”

Later, Venus posted Serena’s quotes on her Instagram Story, and in that story, she wrote, “But without @serenawilliams there is no me.”

Safe to say, the bond between Venus and Serena never broke, even after their countless battles on the court. In the past, many former players, like Chris Evert, and John McEnroe, praised Venus for being selfless, which helped Serena to gain massive success on the tour.

When both the sisters made their debut on the tour, many thought Venus was going to win the first Grand Slam title. However, Serena surprised everyone and won the US Open in 1999, which could have caused a rift between the two sisters. Despite their sibling’s success, they have always supported each other during the highs and lows, which probably made them one of the most successful sibling athletes in sporting history.

Will Venus follow Serena into retirement?

After Serena’s retirement, many fans and pundits are wondering about the future of Venus Williams. Earlier, John McEnroe predicted that both Venus and Serena will say goodbye to tennis after their US Open stint in doubles.

Notably, Venus and Serena took part in the doubles tournament in this year’s US Open. Unfortunately, they could not go far in the tournament after losing in the very first round. It could very well be the last time we will see the Williams sisters playing together on the court.

Earlier, Venus had already lost her singles match in the very first round. Incidentally, that was her fourth straight loss on the tour, after making her singles return at the Citi Open earlier in this hard-court swing. Currently, Venus is 42 years old and not playing her best tennis. So, it will be interesting to see if she also announces her retirement after the US Open or possibly at Wimbledon next year, which has been her favorite tournament.
