SERENA SERVES UP HER FINAL ACT

The champ’s saying goodbye to the court for the sake of her family

Fans are saying so long Serena Williams, take a bow and thanks for the memories. At 40, the tennis powerhouse is hanging up her racquet for good as she plans to expand her family.

The American ace is playing her final home Grand Slam, the US Open, this week, and will then call time on what’s been a glittering career that helped change the women’s game forever.

Having achieved so much in the sport since exploding onto the tour with her older sister Venus more than 25 years ago, Serena and her husband, billionaire techie and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, are focusing on giving Olympia, who turns five this week, a sibling, as per her request.

Retirement will be decidedly bittersweet for the undisputed court queen, who demolished the sport’s record books like her backhand disposed of opponents.
