Her name has been mentioned in more songs than one can count, even featuring in Beyonce\u2019s visual album Lemonade! And, despite all the backlash she&#8217;s experienced, she has risen above the criticism and succeeded through it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The beautifully written Vogue article announcing her evolution &nbsp;was a harrowing reminder of what it means to be a mother, not only as an athlete, but in the workplace too. Her transparency and vulnerability are appreciated, as often these conversations are swept under the rug within the athlete&#8217;s sphere. We hope that athletes like Williams and Allyson Felix, who have been open with their motherhood challenges, will continue to inspire others to speak up about their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over her impressive 27-year professional career, she\u2019s gone on to achieve things her counterparts still have yet to do. For instance, she\u2019s the only tennis player to get a Career Golden Slam as both a singles player and a doubles player, she has won 23 Grand&nbsp;Slam&nbsp;singles titles (the most by any player in the Open Era), and she has inspired many tennis players and athletes across the world to compete at the highest level. Williams is also still playing against people who watched her matches during their formative years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8d39b2df wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/sport24live.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gettyimages-72555852.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sport24live.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gettyimages-72555852.avif 500w, https:\/\/sport24live.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gettyimages-72555852-300x210.avif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1999 | US Open Win<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/sport24live.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gettyimages-476091216.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sport24live.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gettyimages-476091216.avif 500w, https:\/\/sport24live.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gettyimages-476091216-300x210.avif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2015 | French Open Win<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8d39b2df wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/sport24live.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gettyimages-545684944.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sport24live.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gettyimages-545684944.avif 500w, https:\/\/sport24live.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gettyimages-545684944-300x210.avif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2016 | Wimbledon Win<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/sport24live.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gettyimages-632890296.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sport24live.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gettyimages-632890296.avif 500w, https:\/\/sport24live.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gettyimages-632890296-300x210.avif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2017 | Australian Open Win<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many have been compared, but very few can compete with Williams and all her accomplishments.
