“The GOAT may be done with tennis, but she has her sights set on a new kind of international domination,” writes the magazine.

Serena Williams is making headlines as one of Glamour magazine’s Global Women of the Year, sharing the honor with actress Pamela Anderson. The magazine celebrates her achievements in a profile piece by Mattie Kahn, stating, “The GOAT may be done with tennis, but she has her sights set on a new kind of international domination.”

In a candid interview, the 23-time Grand Slam champion opens up about her postpartum struggles, parenting advice from Selena Gomez’s mom, and her “happily codependent” relationship with her sister, Venus.

The stunning cover shoot, photographed by Josefina Santos and styled by Christine Nicholson, features Serena in luxurious outfits from designers like Loewe and Stella McCartney, complemented by Christian Louboutin shoes, Tiffany & Co. jewelry, and her signature Audemars Piguet watch.

Since retiring from tennis two years ago, Serena Williams has turned her attention to entrepreneurship, focusing on both her ventures and those of others. In her recent interview with Glamour, she discusses the growth of her beauty line, Wyn Beauty, and highlights her venture capital firm, Serena Ventures, which has invested in over 85 companies—14 of which are currently valued at $1 billion or more.

Williams emphasizes the importance of releasing herself from the perfectionism that defined her athletic career, especially as a mother. She candidly shares her experiences with postpartum depression following the births of her daughters, Olympia, now 7, and Adira, born last year.

“You never know when it can happen,” she reflects. “It could be a month; it could be a week. It could take a year for things to settle down. We are the vessels of increasing the population, literally. It’s really just keeping a positive environment and giving yourself grace and understanding.”

Game, set, match. 🎾 #SerenaWilliams knows a thing or two about tennis, so it was only right we asked the GOAT and #GlamourWOTY to settle these tennis myths once and for all. Watch the full video at the link. https://t.co/sk5Or6gJgK pic.twitter.com/1G1bUcWvMs

In more lighthearted fare, Williams’ honor also comes with a video in which she debunks famous tennis myths, like choosing between skirts or shorts, and whether or not *Challengers *portrayed the sport accurately.
