She is the reason i watch tennis 🎾, she went through so much and shined, the queen 👑 Serena.
Martin hingis and media talk a lot of trash talk before this usopen final in 1999. Serenawilliams beat 5 hall of famer for her first major title And first black woman win major title since 1958 1. Kim clijsters 2.c Martinez 3.M seles 4.L davenport 5.M hingis Serenawilliams is something special.

well Hingis was just 1 year older than Serena. Hingis had her own maturing process to go through in 1999. She got humbled by Graf and the French crowd in the 1999 final, followed by a first round loss at Wimbledon and then all the media buzz about Serena rising.
It's only now she's left the game that people are truly beginning to respect and appreciate her talent. Serena was special, a one-off that we may never ever see in tennis again. Anyone that was blessed to watch her watched greatness.

The GOAT......the reason I love tennis.
First, Althea Gibson, Zina Garrison and then Venus and Serena. Thank you for taking G.O.A.T to another level ladies.
She faced pour racism throughout her whole career. Despite this she remains the greatest of all time. Whatever you sent she kept rising

Now you know why all the girls were playing their life against her.
Woah, woah, that is stunning to watch. To think that I had the good fortune of catching the start of their superstardom, twenty-five years ago now, I was intern-years-old, wow, I'm old lol. The Williamses had all this mental strength too, and that only grew along with their tennis. Wow. I should also add how absolutely awesome it is to watch Martina Hingis here, she was stunningly devious, adorable and to have the momentous win be against her is dramatic gold. Hingis was genuinely competitive. Beautiful.
Serena Williams is truly amazing. AN ICON!!
This episode was amazing and made me love Serena even more! An amazing woman that does my heart good! God bless you Serena and your family! You were amazing hosting the Espy's too!
Her father should be in the Tennis Hall of Fame.

Amen! Serena & Venus made it easier for those like Coco who deals with hate today. Some on social media focuses on Coco out of all the top 20 Players, and says she’s the only player that doesn’t belong. But I believe she will overcome them also, like Serena did!❤
That was the day I fell in love. With this queen 👑👑👑👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
SHE IS THE GREATEST. Period.
Gosh I’m crying. Incredible athlete! Legend! Goat!
I remember this match well, congrats Serena, the tennis queen, luv her.
That's why she is the best tennis player America had to offer. Imagine they don't won't you to win, but still you rise again and again. If they don't won't coco to win she doesn't, the William(Serena) sisters where on another level. And much respect and paise to their parents, King Richard the man with the plan.

She had the worst calls at the US Open. She had three meltdowns all at the US Open because of bad calls, incriminating her as a cheat and so on. Things they would never do to other GOATS especially the BIG 3 ATP. America is where she was born and they hated her the most. Shame on you Americans for putting these girls through hell.
Wow, I knew Serena went through a lot of racism from the fans and sports media, but I didn’t know she had to go through it from the players also. Thank goodness, she overcame it, even though I know it hurts!❤

Yup the anti-blackness was and still is in full force. Especially for the Williams sisters, they still to this day are egregiously verbally and racially assaulted on mediums like this. But they worked their asses off to be the best, in spite of the psychological violence that was levied against them!

The G.O.A.T. Loved her commentary!
Why she is the GOAT 🏆🎾23 Grand Slam Champion‼️ most in Women’s Open Era.
Damn this made me cry. We love you so much Serena!
Can't wait to see this
What an amazing flashback and I love that I witnessed it live! You’re a wonder!
Just Wow!!! You know, it’s like you think you know their story and then you realize that some of the details of their story haven’t truly been given their true due, and with this short clip I’m like yess, this is what I wanted to know more about!
imagine being the one that everyone else in your respective industry compares themselves to and making it an objective to defeat you. That’s POWER. That’s… ✨G.O.A.T.✨
I just know that she can relate to what Caitlyn Clark is going through... Caitlyn too has a huge X on her back.

Loooolllll this is just ridiculous😂😂 Who is Caitlyn Clark?? The nobody who happens to play this year in the WNBA?She is NOT a trailblazer. They have always been White girls playing in the WNBA and who have won Championships and have rings. She couldn't even get a ring in College. Her team is not at the 1st-2nd place in WNBA. Stop the nonsense.
My inspiration 🥹 I LOVE HER SO MUCH
Beautiful story! I will always love our Williams Sister. Shalawam my little sisters. 🙏
So excited for this show.
I love this woman. Without her tennis is no longer the same. I am still struggling to find my favorite player at the moment. Serena Williams will always be my best. She is the reason I play tennis. G.O.A.Ts.

@@marjorjorietillman856 I love her, I also believe she is capable. But I feel like all of these women ain't hungry like Serena Williams. She was a beast, she needed to eat and trust me she ate. You have to be consistent, go all out, have a goal, and keep climbing, keep digging.
Gosh Serena is so great she give me chills. I've been so inspired by her in so many moments of life I've taken her determination with me into the office or an interview or a match. Just telling myself - you got this - no matter what you have to go for it and believe in yourself. Thank you Serena. Because of you, I believe.
Just finished episode 1 and it was sooooo good. Highly recommend and can’t wait for next Wednesday episode 2 of this series of 8 ❤

Of course you would have faced racism also from players. You didn't even have to say it cause it was something we could feel it's happening as viewers. This came out of course as you said from the level of tennis you were producing. You simply weren't a match to anyone. Serves...backhands...running fast... All were in high level and combined. Especially serve. So... What I remember also was the final at us open with Stosur. Didn't expect she could get out with a win. There you couldn't find a pace cause her game was technically not only in high level but very difficult for you as a different type of player than hers... That's why also the match didn't last that much... Stosur s spin that day seemed unreturnable and even a powerful hit would make things easier necessarily. Amazing match though and amazing appearance from Samantha. ❤❤❤
I miss the power tennis of Serena and Venus.
Venus always look sad and distant
Serena Williams is the best of the best =G.O.A.T ❤❤❤

And don’t forget a young Kim Clijsters had Serena down 5-3 3rd set in the 3rd round of that maiden US Open championship! Serena showed even more than Venus this refreshing fighting spirit that was undeniable at the time. Papa Richard tried to warn the world that both of his daughters would takeover the sport. The establishment refused to listen.
