Serena Williams, the revered American tennis champion, finally headed into retirement. During her 27 year career of excellence, Serena won 98 world titles including 37 grand slam titles (singles & doubles), career slams twice and 4 Olympic gold medals. She was also 10 times runner up in grand slams. What more can you say of a tennis icon who was World no 1 for 319 weeks of which 186 weeks were consecutive. Serena brought a lot to world tennis. But it's not only tennis that Serena is respected for. She is a warm person with a heart of 24-carat gold. She is not a hoarder of money like many sports persons. She does lot of charity and shares her earnings specially with the poor children of Africa. Serena, you will be missed, loved and remembered for a long, long time.
