    What an incredible résumé. What a brilliant career. What grit and determination and phenomenal parenting. King Richard is one of my favorite movies. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that elite black athletes don't get enough credit for their discipline and hard work. I think there's an assumption that if you're physically blessed you somehow have an advantage but we all know that many talented people go by the wayside if they don't put in the time. Maybe when she's not promotingher series we could just listen to her talk about her life lessons in a Masterclass or seminar or TEDTalk or something

    Hey Serena, fellow JW here, I hope you don't feel bad about having done the cheers, Stephen extended his arm out, and you tried to avoid it, obviously it would've looked extreme and fanatical if you had rejected it on live TV which is something we also want to avoid giving the impression of. I believe you made the right call. This was a good example of a conscientious situation given it wasn't the opportunity to explain our beliefs. Love you sister Williams.♥️ Keep up the good work.

      You are assuming people know the rules of being Jehovah as if it is large mainstream religion. I just looked it up online and there are only 1.3 million in the U.S and currently depleting. So using an acronym to identify her wouldn't make sense. I know more about Hinduism.....

Also you don't have to be part of the religion to have heard about them from her when she has given credit to Jehovah in the past which she did on several occasions and it's on CZcams or the fact that Jehovah's Witnesses have been well known for years all around the world for their preaching work and door knocking.

    Fun Fact: Both times Stephen came in for a toast, Serena did not reciprocate. That's because Jehovah's Witnesses do not toast because they believe "the practice has roots in false religious customs."
