Champ Serena will be missed as she heads into retirement

Serena Williams, the revered American tennis champion, finally headed into  retirement.

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.
