🎾 Tennis' Greatest Chapter Ending Soon?

Serena, Rafa, Fed and the Djoker have spoiled tennis fans for two decades. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: We take a nostalgic look at the last 20-plus years of incredible tennis from four legends ... why the Knicks are stopping at nothing to nab their new point guard ... and more! There was a moment, late in the London evening, when Serena Williams celebrated with as much gusto as she’s sometimes shown to mark a Grand Slam championship triumph. The tennis icon, now 40, a mother, a businesswoman, and – oh yes – a 23-time Major winner, threw her hands to the skies and screamed with delight, emotion welling on her face. It was 5-4 in the third set, and Williams had just broken the serve of France’s Harmony Tan, to set up the opportunity to serve things out. She thought victory was coming, hence the outpouring of ferocity — and relief. Ultimately, victory didn’t arrive, Tan rebounding to win the pair’s Wimbledon first-round match 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7). But this wasn’t a defeat in the normal sense, and it sure as heck wasn’t a failure. It might have been a goodbye. At the very least it was the precursor to one that’s coming. Williams was non-committal in her post-match press conference, but there isn't a lot left in the tank and absolutely zero left to prove. A glorious career is winding toward its end, if not now, then likely very soon. It’s not the only one. Sporting marvels often find the closing steps of their competitive life to be among the loneliest. In this case, Williams is in good company.
