While many have recalled her on-court achievements and memorable moments on the tennis court, there have been a few who share a closer relationship with Williams and gave an insight into the lesser talked-about side of the American’s life.

Former men’s No. 1 Andy Murray, in one such instance, spoke about Williams’ funny side. On being asked to share something interesting about the 23-time Major winner during his post-match press conference, Murray, who played doubles with Williams at the 2019 Wimbledon Championships, said she made plenty of funny comments to ease out their equation — something the Brit said he wasn’t expecting.

Murray went on to say that WIlliams’ sense of humor and easy-going personality helped ease some of the pressure that he was feeling after playing his home Slam following an injury lay-off.

“She’s obviously had a massive impact on the sport” - Andy Murray on Serena Williams

Shifting his focus to Serena Williams’ legacy, Andy Murray said the American has had a huge impact on the sport. The Brit said that the American, along with sister Venus Williams, had accomplished something “remarkable” — and something that was unlikely to be repeated.

Murray added that after her impending retirement, Serena Williams will go down as “one of the best,” if not “the” best women’s player in the game.
