When it comes to tennis, Serena Williams is a name that one never ignore. With 23 grand slams to her name, she made a name for herself among the greatest in the game. However, her time as a professional player came to an end after she decided to hang her boots after the US Open last year. With her retirement coming in, many would have thought that her dominance would have come to an end. But, she proved everyone wrong as she now looks to claim dominance with her off-court ventures.

Now, a recent revelation suggests that she has taken her pursuit of greatness to the next level as she decided to follow in the footsteps of Meghan Markle. The 41-year-old player recently announced that she will be coming up with 2 memoirs. However, that being said, her fans now eagerly wonder what will be there for them.

Serena Williams announces her 2-book deal which would reflect her journey

In a recent revelation, Serena Williams announced that she will be coming up with 2 memoirs. However, the release date and the official title of the memoir are still unknown to the fans. But what readers can undoubtedly expect is an honest and heartfelt narrative from one of the greatest athletes in the history of sports.

The deal was penned in by the Random House publishing group which will bring in the first ‘intimate’ memoir which will showcase the journey that Serena Williams went through the course of her career and despite all the struggles she faced, she made it big in the game.

“Over the last year I’ve really enjoyed taking the time with my growing family to celebrate my accomplishments and explore my other passions. I couldn’t be at a more perfect place to be able to take-on such a personal intimate project, and there’s no one I would rather do it with than the team at Random House,” said Serena Williams in the interview.

The second memoir which is expected to be ‘inspirational’ will guide her fans on how to live their life to the fullest. The book will offer her experiences on how she dealt with the negativity while being a vocal advocate for all the injustices that she faced throughout her life as a professional tennis player.

Thus, Serena Williams, who already left an indelible mark in the tennis world is now all set to follow her best friend Meghan Markle in bringing her experiences to life. Earlier this year, Markle also announced that she will be bringing her memoir.

Serena Williams’ decision to follow in her best friend Meghan has been dealt with huge anticipation from the fans. Markle, however, is not new to the spotlight. Before coming in as the royal princess, she made her mark on the big screen as a Hollywood actress. Taking her journey to the next step, Meghan Markle recently announced her memoir. However, this has ignited a global wave of curiosity and anticipation.

Given her association with the Royal family, many are now expecting what she would have written in her memoir. Meghan, inspired by her husband Prince Harry would have to be quite carefully given her stature as the royal princess.

The expert on the Royal Family however pointed that Markle could face some serious pressure to make some sensational revelations in the book. “The publisher knows that people would be dying of curiosity to see what she might reveal. Keeping her comments on the royal family to a minimum would probably benefit her in the long run, but publishers probably want her to reveal bigger, juicier gossip because that is what really sells,” said Christine Ross, who is a royal family expert.

Thus, as both Serena Williams and Meghan Markle step on this journey of memoir-writing, their fans are now eagerly waiting. The contents of their respective books possess the power to redefine their legacies and influence the dynamics of their personal relationships. While Serena Williams is all set to bring her personal experiences to the table, Meghan Markle’s memoir is coming under a lot of scrutiny.

So, Serena Williams’ memoir promises to be a deep dive into the life of a sports legend and a vocal advocate of injustice. As she follows in the footsteps of her friend Meghan Markle, these two remarkable women are set to offer the world narratives of inspiration and empowerment.
