Williams' last match was at the U.S. Open on 2 September 2022, and was considered to be her final match in her solo tennis career. ESPN revealed that the tennis icon's last match was the most-viewed tennis broadcast in ESPN history.

In an interview with Vouge last August, Williams had revealed that she would be moving on from her tennis career: "I’m here to tell you that I’m evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me. A few years ago I quietly started Serena Ventures, a venture capital firm. Soon after that, I started a family. I want to grow that family."
