Serena Williams has been backed to "go out with a bang" as the tennis icon prepares to contest the final tournament of her illustrious career at the US Open.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion announced her decision to retire in September’s edition of Vogue. Williams will walk away from the sport after the US Open, the fourth and final major tournament of the season.
Since Williams’ announcement on Tuesday, fans and figures from the sporting world have paid tribute to her incredible career. Many hailed the 40-year-old as the 'Greatest Of All Time' and hope to see her perhaps match Margaret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slam titles.
