"Serena — on behalf of the US Women's National Team, we just wanted to say congrats on an incredible career," star midfielder Crystal Dunn said to the camera, flanked by her entire team.

To Dunn's left, captain Becky Sauerbrunn held a white USWNT jersey with No. 23 on the back — representing Williams' Open Era-record 23 Grand Slam singles titles. "G.O.A.T." — an acronym for Greatest of All Time — was written where a player's last name would typically be found, and signatures from national team stars were scattered all around the kit.

"You laid the groundwork for so many of us, been such an inspiration," striker Megan Rapinoe continued. "Enjoy every last bit."
