American tennis legend Serena Williams has hung her racket. The 40-year-old earlier announced that the current season is her last. Playing in her last Grand Slam, the 40-year-old was not in excellent form. The former world number one still gave it her all and won the first two matches of the tournament.

Senior Journalist Sally Jenkins also gave her tribute to the retiring legend in a special way. Later, another journalist, Jose Antonio Vargas, shared her words on Twitter and it is going viral. Here’s what she said about Serena.
