40-year-old Serena Williams recently retired from professionaly playing tennis. Her comeback to the sport is still in question but Williams announced that the US Open would be the final tournament of her career. Serena received a massive reception at Flushing Meadows a few weeks ago as she bowed out of the tournament in the third round to Ajla Tomljanovic.

Venus Williams also admitted to looking up to Serena as a source of insipration. In a recent interview, she said, “She’s been my role model. No one knows more what I’m going through then she does. She’s someone who understands me without even saying a word, I know that it’s unusual to have a sibling in sports, but it is the only experience I know so I can’t imagine not having one. From what I understand, 99 percent of people do it alone but I never had to.”

Both the Williams sister will be leaving a huge mark on tennis after both of them retire. The two sisters have revolutionized women’s tennis and have inspired a generation of players.
