Her intelligence has always been underrated. I always to hear what she has to say when she opens up and she’s her inner self

[@KCNwokoye]

Serena the awesome queen. She completely changed the game and created a new model for playing.

Greatest female athlete ever and one of the best athletes ever

[@sophiamunangati3522]

Serena, you are my inspiration . I started liking tennis when you were playing, and I lost interest the day you retired. I miss you and your game.

[@orbitalwarrior]

Even speaking french to Olympia!
Serena and Venus have had such an impact on the game, they are icons of tennis, and icons overall.

❤️ SERENA.

The Williams sisters were poorly treated by people during their starting years, by the press, their fellow players, the crowd..the most notorious was in Indian Wells..no matter what, whether Venus decided not to play, it doesn't excuse anyone to treat people like that..so I have this leniency towards the Williams sisters when they show their tough side on court, as they've been through so much.

❤❤❤. QUEEN SERENA

[@sandiebradley7523]

I have so muck respect and admiration for her and her sister & in fact her whole family What awesome role models

[@Paakid]

Sad you're gone from the court and I no longer have any interest in tennis because I fell in love with tennis only because of watching you and Venus play but I'm sooo happy to see you happy being a mom and loving your new life away from tennis. All the blessings to you Serena and thank you!
