After Roger Federer announced his retirement on Thursday, Serena Williams welcomed the Swiss tennis star to the "retirement club."

She went into further detail in a sweet Instagram post, which included a photo from a 2019 mixed-doubles match.

You can see her post here:

She wrote:

"I wanted to find the perfect way to say this, as you so eloquently put this game to rest - perfectly done, just like your career."
"I have always looked up to you and admired you. Our paths were always so similar, so much the same."
"You inspired countless millions and millions of people - including me - and we will never forget. I applaud you and look forward to all that you do in the future."
"Welcome to the retirement club. And thank you for being you [Roger Federer]."

Williams congratulated the 20-time Grand Slam champion on a "perfectly done" career.

Williams recently advanced to the third round of the U.S. Open. Her shoutout was seen as the clearest sign it was her final match.

Williams, who has amassed 23 major singles championships, previously stated she would gradually stop playing tennis after the Open but hasn't provided an exact date for doing so.

According to Federer, the Laver Cup in London, which runs from September 23 to September 25, will serve as his final Association of Tennis Professionals match.

Reactions in the comments of Williams' post were sweet and supportive.

First was the general sentiment the queen and king of tennis are retiring at once and thanked them both for world-changing careers.

'Will & Grace' Actor Brutally Drags Trump's Venezuela Takeover With Mock Regime Change In His Own Neighborhood

As the world now knows, on the morning of Saturday, January, 3, 2026, under the direction of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump and his Secretary of "War" Pete Hegseth, the United States military invaded the sovereign nation of Venezuela using 150 aircraft to abduct Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores.

The nation, along with international allies and adversaries, have been weighing in on the action and the Trump administration's attempts to justify it. Trump, Hegseth, and their mouthpieces claim the uninvited intervention in another sovereign nation's internal affairs was about justice and drug trafficking while the international community and Trump's opposition in the U.S. say it was about oil.
