“Congratulations on an inspiring career”- Sachin Tendulkar crafts heartfelt tribute to Serena Williams

Serena Williams got eliminated from the US Open 2022 in the third round on Saturday. Though the arguably one of the greatest tennis players of all time has not been in good form in the last couple of years, this defeat means a lot to her and her fans. This match was the legendary tennis player’s last appearance as she announced her retirement last month but didn’t confirm the date or tournament.

But when she got eliminated, wishes poured in from the various parts of the world for the inspiring woman. And one of her well wishers is the cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar himself. Tendulkar crafted a heartfelt message to pay tribute to Serena.
