Her sister Venus was a great Tennis star too. It was amazing watching these two sisters play Tennis in their prime ❤
It so was. Love Serena but V is my favorite tennis player. Her match between Lindsay Davenport in 2005 is the best final ever.
You never watched them! Please don’t lie! 😆😆😆
@@javiruiz8365 believe it not I never watched Tennis match before these two sisters and I have been hooked in that sport ever since. There was a friend of mine who used to say I don't understand why a man would watch women's Tennis trying to make me mad and I think you doing the same here too 😂
I still remember when Venus was just coming out and blowing everyone away, and their Dad was like "Just wait until you see my younger daughter."
@@deborahbrown2444that 👆
The band softly playing “Pretty Wings” by Maxwell as she walked out was going crazy 😮💨😮💨
Thank you for posting this comment bc I've been searching EVERYWHERE for this song but didn't know the name of it. I can finally rest!
@@AliyahEnglish happy I came in clutch for you! I know the feeling 😭
I would actually choose to serve too if I were in Hingis's shoes; Serena's return was indeed great, but her serve was the most lethal in women's tennis!
True: the best serve in women's tennis.
When you remember how Martina served, you'd be surprised as well😅. Martina wasn't very strong but she was super quick and was just as good of a returner as Serena. Maybe even better. That lady needed only the tip of her racket to return a ball with interest. Especially her backhand return down the line. At that time Serena's serve wasn't the lethal weapon yet. It was fast but easy to read and without much top spin. I think Martina tried to throw Serena for a loop. Making her start the match at her first finals. Martina already had gs titles and she was feeling pretty confident, after beating Venus in a marathon-match. I think she didn't expect Serena's reply. 'Wtf? This is YOUR first GS final? I'm supposed to psych YOU out!". Martina was quite the character..a bit of a prickly person with a sharp tongue. Had she not retired early, I think she and Serena could've actually been friends. They had a fiery rivalry but the drama kind of died down as they matured. They are both very opinionated and quick witted, they are extremely passionate on the court and they could not stand losing. Matches between them were always close.
The queen is in the house. Love seeing Serena enjoying her legacy. G.O.A.T. Serena seems to have hired a new glam team. Keep on shining!
She’s slimmed down so much, therefore, I wouldn’t mind if she gave us one more year of tennis! With her new BOD, I think she could win one more US Open. Venus is still playing!!❤❤😂
Right? She looks flawless!
Yes she stop being cheap
lol she look good
@natashabobb6859 women really are the worst to each other 🫵
I think after the met gala she was told by dad ... this is not working and since that she a best serena@natashabobb6859
MOTHER! lookin flawless as ever. 😍🫶🏽🎾
The GOAT herself
Amazing for Serena Williams bravo championship amazing for all women's tennis
The Champion, the Wife, the Mother. You are a shinning star ❤
Serena looks like she's in really good shape right now. 👀 Comeback queen
Said the same thing, she's cooking something 😉
I was thinking the same. She looks really fit. Hmmm maybe a comeback?
She's glowing! Love you, Serena❤
I remember hearing an interview with Chris Evert abt 30 yrs ago, when Serena and Venus had recently come onto the national scene. She sang the praises of both them, and said she believed that Serena could become one of the best players in the history of the game. WOW, did she call it!!
Chrissy has never truly been supportive of the Williams sisters.
@@blackblake3658 Interesting, why do you say that?
@@robrivaxYes, she spoke about their career but she was not supportive. She's constantly criticized them for not playing in the juniors tournaments but doing things there way. Chrissie, is traditionalist like so many older champions, she wanted them to go the traditional way. But their dad had a better plan.
@@aliciaknott8109I remember when they had their international debut, the pundits at Wimbledon were just 'mystified' by the Williams sisters. As mentioned, it was unusual that they didn't play juniors and they were a pretty close-knit unit. But when Venus made her debut....Wimbledon just melted. She made it through to the quarter finals on her debut but it was her personality that everybody fell in love with. The Williams' sisters were even referred to as 'our girls' by the Wimbledon commentators after a while. The way they would speak to them in interviews was almost like uncles and aunties wanting to know what their cousins were up to these days. They might have experienced less than welcoming crowds at times but Wimbledon has always been their 'home'.
Even us Brits were glued to our screens whenever either of the Williams sisters were playing, the sheer power but with the skill to back it up was always awe inspiring! We wanted Serena to win Wimbledon every year!
Not Venus ?
@@dblog yes and Venus too but when they came up against each it's was Serena who had the edge
A Williams played for the Venus Rosewater Dish on Championship Saturday every year from 2000-2019 except ‘06,’11,’13 & ‘14.
Yeah. Serena and Venus were most loved at Wimbledon. Still are .I find the commentators and crowds at Wimbledon to be the best. Its all seems very traditional but its really laid back and the tradition is part of the fun. Wimbledon LOVED the Williams sisters. And they were so charming in interviews,,always in for a laugh. I will never forget how the crowd cheered when Venus won her first grand slam, after Serena's US open win. And how high she jumped for joy. I remember the commentator wondering if she broke the high jump record😅 at the ceremony when Venus had to give her on court speech, the microphone picked up when she told Sue Barker:" I really like your shoes".
Sue Barker:"Ladies and gentlemen, she just won Wimbledon but Venus just complimented my shoes"
The crowd:"YEEEEEEAAAAAAH!!!!" and Venus giggling.😂😂
They always had the Williams' sisters back. And were not shy to call out how they were treated in the US.
@@roddo1955 🥰I remember when Venue won too her reaction really was just at you described. I agree you kind of expect Wimbledon to be a bit snoby because of the tradition and things like the Royal Box but you are right it is incredibly relaxed and everyone's there to enjoy and take in the atmosphere as well as the tennis it's absolutely with paying and queuing for. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't been!
She looks great. Love that outfit.
I Love her, she is Beautiful, the GOAT, genuine, & still humble!! 💜
Listening to Richard's voice in this clip, it's pretty amazing how Will Smith captured the nuances of his voice so well in King Richard
Go SERENA! Keep shining on and off the court!
"are you sure?" ...I mean the truth just jumped out. Epic.
She listened to the people all of her outfits have absolutely slayedddddddd❤
Listened to who? Dictating?
Serena and Venus are my two favorite Tennis Players.
Please, Serena give us one more good year of tennis! Especially with your new toned body!!❤❤❤
My best people; 😂😂Stephen and Serena are a great match as always; and I love them so much❤❤❤❤❤
What a mighty woman. ❤
She was Amazing, & Hilarious on « HOT ONES » Love her so much!! 😭🤣🥰💜
The match when Serena vs Venus was legendary
I miss Serena and Venus slaying the doubles tourneys! Please come back for the Olympics or Major Grand Slams!
I miss them too.
We love serena Williams and stephen colbert
You look beautiful, Serena! Love you lots ❤
Lol, I would love some of what you are smoking.
She is gorgeous!
One of the best fits I have seen her wear. Polished and effortless. Continued success
I have been watching this amazing woman play since she and Venus hit the tennis arena! I loved In the Arena and have watched it twice. Can't wait for the next episode. God bless you Serena and your beautiful family!
I love Serena! So happy for all of the good she brings to her life, and others!! She is one of my favorite celebrated people!
Ugh absolutely love her!
I don't even play a sports, but seeing a strong beautiful black women be at the top of her game growing up was everything, she doesn't know the impact she has.
Serena and Venus are two of my all-time sports heroes, and I don't even care about tennis.
Love her and Venus both ❤❤❤
I adore you completely❤️❤️❤️
Are you sure? is some badass smack. Just a kid on the way to being the GOAT!
As time moves on, we have better sports science, better training, the footage of all those who have come before to learn from, and with the growing population and popularity of a sport, in almost every case, the best player to ever live at that sport, is someone currently playing it. This is one of those rare cases, where that is simply not true. It could be decades until someone will come along, who will be better then Serina was in her prime.
Never to be repeated, in my opinion.
Looking good Serena.
When Stars Align 💫
Sereeennnaaaa❤
And play tennis!
I love watching her play
Looking fit Queen. Please come back. 😅
I Love her in a appropriate way what a brilliant person
She's gorgeous..😍🥰
Love the outfit Serena 💙. I'm a stripe girl myself 💙.
Props to all her accomplishments to which I’d include her new look 😊❤
Tennis not the same without her but God she is so affected..........
Serena is so beautiful and talented
Love you momma ❤
Was that "Pretty Wings"? Very nice.
GOAT right there.
GOAT beautiful as always!!
Manifestation✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I love me some Serena-Hingis matches. Miss those days.
Stephen the Man, the Myth, the Legend.❤❤❤
The GOAT of woman athletes! The Best!
i like her vest where is it from
She's amazing imaging when she star hitting them balls again she decide to come back and star hearing the word of her father ingrain in her subconscious saying your going to win your going to win. Serena your so amazing. Much love
Give her six weeks -- eight weeks tops --- and she would be Top 10!
Serena Venus come back for doubles please.
This world desperately needs more men like her father. 👌🙏
2:51 Oh dear, Stephen. "WimbleTon"?! lol
😂😂😂 I'm just gonna not say nothing.
King Richard playing on Netflix now. Fascinating story.
So professional and charming….these Ghetto WNBA players could learn a lot from her!
I wish in future she can consider being a coach for the young upcoming black athletes girls 🎉
❤❤❤❤❤
part 1
So inspirational! Love her!!!
“Cheese-food incident”
They can’t call it dairy legally and they can’t call it cheese legally but they can call it “cheese-food”.
I have always been a Steffie superfan, but boy when I saw Serena play I new she is so good the only person that could ever stop her was her self! Serena the GOAT we miss you play!
What. A. Women. ❤
👏🏽👏🏽
So awkward. I want to love Serena, but she makes it so difficult. So many unacceptable moments on the court. But it never had consequences for her, or she was even celebrated for it.
Love that she is a
creative, strong, opiniated woman ❤
True champion!! Such a Beautiful person.
Oh, i just looooove to play with balls. It's my favourite. 😁
Love you always, Serena!
People balls for sure
Stephen's cuff is driving me insane.
She’s astounding ! Get Caitlyn Clark please! Amazing athletes!!!!
Don’t compare Carlin Clark to Serena lol
@@jddIIcorrect, Serena is in her own category, above the rest! 🏆
I some dystopian future, in an unethical military laboratory a mad scientist is mixing the dna from serena and mike tyson to create the next generation of super solder.
In the spirit of respectful admiration for the perfect human form when combining dexterity and strength.
It would make a great movie
I'm gonna identify as 'a little unclear' from now on too.
The tennis 🎾 woman
I'm actually enjoying Serena more now than she's retired. I think once the competitive element is removed, she's a much more relatable and fun person. Collect all your Flowers GIRL!
Damn they brought out the Gojira
Still serving BIG time!!!🤭🎾 A huge inspiration to me!!!
Serena is a powerful vegan. She is in the zone.😎
He seemed like such a hater, seems like Serena could sense it too….
Please don’t tell me that Stephen is one of those people who says WimbleTON rather than WimbleDON. @2.50. THERE IS NO T IN WIMBLEDON!
🤣🤣🤣
Omg thank you for saying that! I’m one of those people. I always thought it was Wimbleton and not Wimbledon. 😞
The GOAT. Love me some Serena! ❤
don't. your time is over.
Are you sure 😂
Why can’t Americans pronounce Wimbledon ? It’s actually not hard ! 😮😊
Wimbledon Wimbledon Wimbledon
See we pronounce it perfectly even better than you
It's funny how Serena seems to rewrite what happened. When she asked "are you sure" it gave more mean girl vibes, rather knee jerk reaction.
42? Yeah. She's _way_ too young to retire.
Hand in the pocket....
I adore Serena Williams. She is so smart and her life is so interesting to watch unfold.
Oh look, it's Miss. Monday. 😂
Does she ever take a day off?
