Serena Williams walks off of Centre Court at Wimbledon with a smile on her face.
She did not get the win in her first singles match back at Wimbledon.
But wow, it was fun to watch her play again… and she can still hit some INCREDIBLE shots.
Just to watch her step on court today meant so much to every tennis fan, to every tennis player, and to so many people beyond this sport.
Having the courage to come back to competition at 44 years of age after 4 years away from the sport and after having two kids… that takes a legendary passion and serious guts.
She doesn’t have a thing to prove to anybody.
A 23-time Grand Slam Champion who stepped on court today, not to break any records or solely to win, but instead… simply for the love of it… so her two daughters could watch her play… and for her own personal happiness.
Forever the greatest, win or lose.
