'Be Grateful that it happened'
Don’t be sad that it’s over, just be grateful that it happened. She gave us the privilege to witness greatness for far longer than any of us could have imagined, and inspired a generation of young women, in tennis and beyond. Serena Williams is the best to ever do it.

Thank You Serena!
It’s over. We have witnessed the end of the career of the greatest woman to ever play tennis. @serenawilliams, your daddy called it. And you delivered. A little Black girl from Compton did it. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

All Tennis Fans are Proud!
So proud of this young woman. Teaching us all to fight to the end. That our reserves are deeper than we think. That we exit on our own terms leaving a standard of excellence. An astonishing champion. #SerenaWilliams
