As Serena Williams notched her latest, greatest achievement Saturday with her 22nd Grand Slam title, the rest of the tennis world took to Twitter to congratulate her.
Whether it was the woman whose record she equaled...
The legends she's already surpassed ...
A former rival ...
A close friend ...
A young American hoping to one day carry the torch ...
The woman who handed her perhaps the toughest loss of her career ...
Or the one she beat Saturday to tie Steffi Graf's record ...
Everyone (really, everyone) gave it up to the greatest of all time.
Finally, Serena had to give it up to herself.
She's earned it.
