Megan Rapinoe is ready to say goodbye to international soccer and has no regrets about her time on and off the field. With the American soccer legend likely to play her final game soon, nearly everyone associated with women’s soccer will agree that they’ve never seen a talent like hers. Although the two-time World Cup champion is retiring, she’s getting a lot of love from an unexpected name in the tennis world.

Recently, the 38-year-old soccer icon received a special message from Serena Williams’ former coach. She expressed gratitude for her contribution to the sport. Let’s take a look at what the famous coach had to say about Rapinoe’s contribution to elevating the world of football.

Recently, the former Australian tennis player shared a beautiful photo of the American football icon on his Instagram account. She celebrated the career of the football legend, who has showcased her talents in international women’s football competitions over the years with some amazing results. Ahead of the Women’s World Cup, the 38-year-old football legend announced that this would be her last game and that she would retire at the end of the year.

But now that the moment is getting closer, Stubbs shared some of the amazing numbers Rapinoe has put up. The 52-year-old tennis coach shared a post praising her for winning Olympic gold and becoming the 2019 FIFA Best Female Athlete, among other things.“Congratulations @mrapinoe.”

The 23-time Grand Slam champion’s husband, Alexis Ohanian, is also a big fan of Rapinoe. She is one of his inspirations for his six-year-old daughter’s entry into the world of football. But back to the story, the former tag team champion has always admired the women’s soccer legend and her contribution to the women’s game.

She then stood by the two-time World Cup winner even at times in the face of criticism. Just a few months ago, Williams’ former coach also came out in support of the 38-year-old when she became the target of attention.

The Olympic gold medalist became the target of a boycott by many American fans when he missed a penalty kick at the World Cup in Melbourne earlier this year. While things didn’t go well for the American football star, Stubbs stepped in to give the haters a right answer.

The 52-year-old tennis coach made it clear that it was a huge embarrassment and wouldn’t say the same about other sports legends such as Muhammad Ali, Billie Jean King and Arthur Ashe.
