During her illustrious career, Serena Williams has experienced many ups and downs. However, the American legend has managed to rise whenever things haven’t gone her way. From making glorious comebacks from injuries to reaching Grand Slam finals after becoming a mother, Serena has had it all.

Earlier this month, the younger Williams sister called an end to her magnificent career that lasted around 25 years. In her last tournament at the US Open, she reached the third round before losing against Ajla Tomljanovic of Australia. Recently, she made an appearance at the New York Fashion Week. However, the 23-time Grand Slam champion faced a disappointing moment at the event.
