WATCH: Serena Williams shares video montage to celebrate end of 2022, thanks Venus Williams, husband, and daughter for making year memorable for her

Like most other tennis players, Serena Williams took to social media to celebrate the end of 2022.

It was a very eventful year for the 23-time Grand Slam winner as she announced her retirement from tennis, playing her final tournament at the 2022 US Open. Williams also had a lot going on off the court, with her venture capital firm Serena Ventures raising $111 million to power early-stage startups.

The 41-year-old and her sister Venus Williams were both honored by the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery as part of the Portrait of a Nation Award earlier this year.

Williams celebrated the end of 2022 by sharing a video montage of numerous memories throughout the year on Instagram. She also thanked her husband Alexis Ohanian, daughter Olympia, and sister Venus Williams for making the year memorable for her.

"Grateful for everyone who has made this year so memorable," Serena Williams captioned her Instagram video.

Serena Williams will not feature in the 2023 WTA Tour, but her sister Venus Williams will be seen in action. Venus is currently in Auckland where she will compete in the ASB Classic as a wildcard.

The seven-time Grand Slam singles champion will be up against Katie Volynets in the first round of the WTA 250 event.
