  1. who cares if she retired??

  2. Serena's presence in the tennis world forced it to "evolve". Not only the game but the players; the fans; the broadcasters; the sponsors; the entire make-up of the tennis world.
    Serena brought charm, grace, elegance, humor, honesty into the home of millions across the world who tuned in to see this amazing young Black Girl/Woman defy the odds and lift the spirit of a race of people by her sheer will to never give up.
    Serena you are loved by the world and a role model of what can be accomplished against all odds to many young and old who look just like you. And may your future "evolve" bringing joy to your heart, as you have brought joy to our hearts.
    Thank you.

  3. Hopefully she doesn't blame it on the men and bigotry this time

  4. Serena is not the G O A T, she turned pro at 15 and has played for 27yrs and won 23 grand slams, 1 less grand Slam than the G O A T Margaret Court who played for 17yrs and won 24. Court also had 2 kids while playing compared to Serena 1, so not the G O A T at that either lol, these are facts. The only thing these 2 women are G O A T's at are being terrible people, again facts..

  5. Iโ€™m so grateful and blessed cos all my bills had been cleared and I can live a happy now .. Thanks you Maskoffweb

  7. Biggest blood dumping, steroids using, poor sportsman's ship person, worse representative a US athlete ever retiring about freaking time. She should be stripped of every single title she has. Low life!

  9. Serena Williams cannot retire from Tennis.

  10. Just do it before – bye

  11. I guess Iโ€™m buying a super expensive ticket to the us open in a few weeks. Love you Serena and thank you. ๐Ÿ˜ž

  12. It's gonna be very emotional watching Serena in the U.S. Open this year.

  13. If she didn't have a kid, Serena would have 26 or more slams by now. If Federer and Djokovic had to have a baby instead of their wives having it; they'd have 3 to 5 less slams each. Making Serena and Nadal the GOATS.

  14. The screaming tantrum yelling cheat has finally called it a day….great news indeed…..

  15. Serena Williams is currently ranked No.276

  16. Will miss her dearly. She had a great career!
