Serena Williams 'Evolving Away' From Tennis After Canadian Open

Serena Williams' legendary tennis-playing career is seemingly approaching its conclusion, as the 23-time Grand Slam winner tells Vogue Magazine this is it:

Williams' professional career spanned 27 years, and she walks away as arguably the most decorated tennis player of all-time. Besides being tied with Ken Rosewall for most Grand Slam titles ever, Serena holds the second-most titles in the Open Era of the sport.

While she intentionally avoided the word 'retirement,' Williams suggests that she will 'evolve away' from the game. If I had to speculate, I would wager that she will be an active figure in the sport and business, and there could be several other ventures awaiting both Venus and Serena. Two of the most iconic names in all of sports, each of their statuses are legendary and doors will swing wide open in attempts to land various sponsorships.

The full September Vogue edition will uncover the star's true feelings and intentions on the future. What a brilliant career she has had, and Serena will undoubtedly carry on her tradition of excellence and grace into this next chapter. What a run. d
