Serena Williams is widely considered to be one of the best tennis players ever, which is no surprise, given her resume. The superstar athlete began playing tennis as a child with her older sister, Venus Williams, according to Britannica. Celebrity Net Worth reports that she played in her first pro tournament when she was just 14 years old. Since then, Serena has gone on to become the highest-earning female tennis player of all time, be ranked #1 in the world a grand total of eight times, and win 23 singles Grand Slam titles. Perhaps most notably, Britannica reported that she has also been crediting with transforming women’s tennis.
In fact, Serena is so influential that only 10% of Americans have never heard of her, according to Statista. But is the tennis legend ready to walk away from the sport for good? While Serena was once singularly focused on her career, she has increasingly prioritized her personal life in more recent years. She married Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian in 2015, and the two share four-year-old daughter Olympia. In February 2022, Serena spoke with Entertainment Tonight and confirmed that she anticipates having more children. “It’s just, like, balance is key … And I know the clock is ticking, so I’m just like okay, I need to figure out when that’s going to be, but hopefully soon, when I will feel no pressure,” she said.
