As the world knows, Serena is more than a record-smashing, boundary-breaking tennis champion. Her achievements, on and off the court, make her one of the most recognizable names and faces in the world – the G.O.A.T.

Serena’s lifelong passion for design led her to fashion school, which she attended in between winning Grand Slams.
