Tennis Icon Serena Williams Dies Unexpectedly at 43 — Family Says “Our Hearts Are Shattered”

May 19, 2025 | New York City

The sports world is reeling after the unexpected death of tennis legend Serena Williams, who passed away Monday morning at the age of 43.

Her representatives confirmed the news in a statement issued just hours after reports began circulating online. “It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Serena,” the family said. “She died peacefully at her home in Florida. Our hearts are shattered beyond words.”

The cause of death has not yet been made public, though sources close to the family say Williams had recently complained of severe fatigue and had postponed several public appearances in recent weeks. Paramedics were reportedly called to her home early Monday but were unable to revive her.

Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam champion and former world No. 1, revolutionized the sport of tennis and broke countless records over her two-decade-long career. Known for her explosive power, unmatched mental toughness, and unwavering dedication, she became a global icon both on and off the court.

News of her passing sent shockwaves across the sports community and beyond. Tributes have poured in from around the world.

“Serena wasn’t just a tennis player. She was a force of nature,” said Billie Jean King. “She changed the game for every woman who came after her.”

Former rival and close friend Venus Williams, Serena’s sister, shared a heartfelt message on social media: “She was my best friend, my partner, my hero. I don’t know how I’ll keep going without her.”

Beyond tennis, Williams was a fashion mogul, a mother, and a businesswoman. She founded Serena Ventures, which invested in more than 50 startups, and was recently part of the ownership group for a WNBA expansion team.

Williams leaves behind her husband, Alexis Ohanian, and their young daughter, Olympia.

A public memorial is being planned in Los Angeles, where Serena spent much of her early career.

“She was larger than life, but still deeply human,” said former President Barack Obama in a statement. “Michelle and I are heartbroken. We send our deepest condolences to her family and all those who loved her.”

As the world mourns the loss of one of the greatest athletes of all time, Serena Williams’ legacy — of power, grace, and fearlessness — will live on forever.
