Blessings have indeed been showered upon tennis legend Serena Williams, who has achieved various milestones in her career of two decades and provided gratuitous encouragement to budding athletes.

Unfortunately for fans and the global tennis community alike, Serena took a step back from tennis last year when she announced her retirement and made her set of final appearances at the US Open 2022. Despite her ‘evolving away’ from tennis, the star has still managed to gain the attention of legendary comedian Chris Rock.

Mocking wannabe attention seekers about the same, Chris then supported his thoughts in connection to the hard work poured in by American tennis icon Serena Williams and her sheer will to rise to the top which has now enabled her to enjoy every bit of attention that now comes with it.

“Easiest way to get attention, to be excellent. That’s right. Like Serena Williams, the greatest tennis player to ever play the game. Absolutely excellent, being excellent will get you attention. But it’s hard being excellent. You’ve got to get up in the morning. you’ve got to work out, you’ve got to practice,” added Chris Rock.
