Serena Williams was chosen to be depicted in a mural by The US Embassy as she is one of the most popular and celebrated American tennis stars in the world. Her glorious career is honored in various ways by different organizations and people. The US Embassy in Argentina found this way to celebrate her career by making beautiful murals on the walls, surrounding the tennis court in a facility in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires.

The mural artist Martin Ron was given charge to make the beautiful murals of both Serena Williams and Gabriela Sabatini. The two women were depicted on the same wall. This is to show women’s power and their contribution to the sport.

Serena Williams may not have been present at the venue but her presence could still be felt. If she would have been present, she must have been very happy to see her mural. Her expressions and stance while playing the shot were painted exactly. The mural is life-like. Having her mural with Gabriela Sabatini on the same wall is another honor that the 6-time US Open champion will cherish.

After announcing her retirement, Serena Williams is getting lots of love from all quarters of the world. Post-retirement she is also involved in promoting her new company Serena Ventures, a venture capital fund. She has also launched her fashion label called S by Serena.

The 5-times WTA Finals winner also keeps teasing her fans and media about her possible comeback into professional tennis. If she is going to make a comeback, we do not know but possibilities are endless in this world and Serena Williams is known to win against all odds.
