World celebrates Serena's greatness as she turns 38
She spent the day in Orlando with her husband Alexis Ohanian and daughter Olympia, checking out the new Star Wars attractions.
Serena is currently ranked No. 9 in the world rankings.
While Serena Williams may not celebrate birthdays (she's a Jehovah's Witness), the rest of the world is happy to take note of her turning 38 on Thursday.
The day took some back in time to 2010Â when a 28-year-old Serena uttered these words in press after winning her fourth Wimbledon title.
Q. Is there a chance you'll still be playing at 38, do you think?
"38?... If I am, I want you to personally take me off and escort me off the court. There's no way I need to be out here at 38."
And yet, she most certainly is still playing.
Greatness has been a theme throughout the day, and throughout her life.
Her coach Patrick Mouratoglou made a good point.
At 38, Serena has shown no sign of stopping her pursuit for Grand Slam No. 24. She's been so close four times, most recently losing in the US Open final to Bianca Andreescu.
