Widely considered the greatest tennis player of all time, Serena Williams has earned another GOAT title.
On Friday, Serena played what was likely her final tennis match, losing to Australian Ajla Tomljanovic in the third round of the 2022 US Open. In celebration of Williams’ 27-year career, Twitter Sports subsequently revealed that the 23-time Grand Slam champion is the most tweeted about female athlete ever.
“On the court and on the timeline, @serenawilliams is the greatest of all time,” Twitter added.
“Thank you so much, you guys were amazing today,” an emotional Serena told the crowd Friday night. “Wish I played a little bit better. Thank you daddy, I know you’re watching. Thanks mom. I just thank everyone that’s here, that’s been on my side so many years, decades. Oh my gosh, literally decades. But it all started with my parents, and they deserve everything, so I’m really grateful for them.
She added, “And I wouldn’t be Serena if there wasn’t Venus, so thank you Venus.”
