Serena Williams did not do much on the court but she did plenty off the court with her efforts getting her named among the 25 most influential women in 2022.

Williams said a few months ago that she's evolving which was her way of announcing her retirement. She's teased a comeback a couple of times with many that know her saying that it's quite possible. In the meantime, she's kept herself quite busy with off-the-court stuff such as business and other ventures.

Her efforts were recognized and she was named among hte top 25 most influential women in 2022. The editor said this about Williams:

"I grew up witnessing her excellence and magnificence from afar. The Williams sisters’ presence was so profound. Grand slam win after grand slam, we’d never seen anything like that! What they represented for me, and I think for a lot of people, was beauty. On the court and off, when you see them carry themselves with such grace, it leaves an indelible impression."

Her good friend Meghan Markle was also featured.
