With the annnouncement of her second pregnancy in May 2023, Serena Williams has almost certainly brought the curtain down on her glittering tennis career.
The American's tally of 23 Grand Slam singles titles is the most of any player in the Open era, one more than fellow 'GOAT' candidate Steffi Graf and one behind Margaret Court who won 13 Slams when only amateur players were allowed.
In 2003 and 2015, Williams held all four Slam titles at the same time with the feat known as the 'Serena Slam'.
Court (1970) and Graf (1988) are the only two women to win calendar Grand Slams with the German's gold in Seoul securing her a unique 'Golden Slam'.
Williams' older sister Venus, who has seven Slam singles titles to her name, continues to play on the WTA Tour. The siblings won 14 Slam doubles title together as well as three Olympic golds with Serena taking singles gold at London 2012.
While she has not officially retired, the 41-year-old told Vogue ahead of the 2022 US Open that she was "evolving away from tennis".
She was expecting her first child, daughter Olympia, while securing what turned out to be her last Slam triumph at the 2017 Australian Open where she beat Venus in the final.
After her return from childbirth, Williams reached consecutive finals at Wimbledon and the US Open but lost all four with the most recent being her 2019 US Open final defeat to Bianca Andreescu.
