Serena Williams announces her retirement from Vogue cover

Former world No. 1 in tennis Serena Williams has announced her retirement from tennis on the cover of the magazine.

This is stated on the official website of Vogue.

Tennis player Serena Williams appeared on the cover of September Vogue in a gentle way - a blue dress with a long train. The end of the dress was held by her 4-year-old daughter Alexis-Olympia.

“I never knew how to say goodbye,” reads the takeaway on the cover of the magazine.

The athlete gave a long interview in which she said that she was ending her career in tennis. The 23-time Grand Slam winner wrote a personal essay on the pages of Vogue, in which she recalled the ups and downs of her career.

Serena Williams said she hates the word "retirement" - according to her, she began a new chapter in life.

“The best word to describe what I do is evolution. I'm here to tell you that I'm moving on from tennis to other things that are more important to me, she said.
