Serena Williams has officially retired from the world of professional tennis. Although this came as no surprise, many wear in tears at the end of her final match even Serena herself. You see the forty-year-old made such a big name for herself as a professional tennis player and as an athlete. So much so that she has been sponsored by top athletic sponsors and she has been able to play all over the world.
