description: "She won 23 major singles titles — more than anyone in the Open Era — and held all four at once, twice. The numbers are staggering, but what bent the sport was how she did it: power and will that redrew what women's tennis could look like."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Coached by her parents alongside sister Venus, Williams turned pro in 1995 and took her first major at the 1999 US Open. From the 2002 French Open through the 2003 Australian Open, she won four straight majors — each final against Venus — achieving the "Serena Slam." Injury and form dipped for years, but by 2007 she clawed back to No. 1. Starting at 2012 Wimbledon, dominance returned: Olympic gold, then eight of thirteen majors, including another four in a row from 2014–2015. She won her 23rd major singles title at the 2017 Australian Open, surpassing Steffi Graf's Open Era record, then stepped away after becoming pregnant. She reached four more major finals upon return, and in August 2022 announced her "evolution" away from the sport, playing her final match at that year's US Open.
