Serena Williams plans to celebrate her retirement with a glass of champagne with the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle.
The 40-year-old tennis star is set to walk away from tennis after the US Open, and Williams has revealed to Markle how she plans to bow out.
Markle – who has previously watched Williams play at Wimbledon – said during the first episode of her new Spotify podcast: “We’re going to have fun. We’ll make sure you get a good one.”
Williams – who is widely regarded as one of the greatest tennis players of all time – revealed she’s looking forward to having a celebratory drink, regardless of how she performs at the US Open in New York.
During her appearance on Archetypes, she added: “To the bar – to the bar. That’s something to do afterwards. I’m just going out because I can never drink. Have a glass of champagne.
“Maybe I’ll just do some twirls right on out of the stadium.”
Earlier this month, Williams announced her plan to retire from tennis.
The Grand Slam-winning star confirmed on Instagram that she’ll walk away from the sport “in the next few weeks”.
