While details about the memoir are yet scarce, fans and readers alike must be eagerly awaiting the opportunity to delve into the life and journey of one of tennis’ greats. While the memoir is expected to provide readers with an intimate and candid look into Williams’ life, it might also touch upon the aspect of her existence in a predominantly white and male-dominated industry. Her memoir is also likely to touch upon sensitive topics like discrimination, racism, and sexism, of which she has been a victim.

While it is sure that the memoir will cover her groundbreaking impact on the sport and her status as a cultural icon, it is highly probable that it might also focus on her motherhood journey, parenting her little daughter Olympia.

In addition to Williams’ upcoming memoir, there is speculation about another potential literary endeavor involving her best friend, Meghan Markle.

Royal commentator Joshua Rom speculates that Meghan may use her invitation to King Charles’s Coronation in May to start working on her memoir. Meghan, who is known for her advocacy work, has been outspoken about various issues, including mental health, racism, and women’s rights. Her memoir is expected to provide insights into her experiences as a member of the royal family, her transition into life as a public figure, and her perspective on navigating the media scrutiny and challenges that come with it.
