Serena u have no idea how much u made us love the sport. It will never be the same without u playing. God has smiled at u and ur family. U have made it . All the best in raising ur family and in ur next chapter
Nevermind the conversation with Jay Z or the $500,000. Give me 10 minutes of conversation with Serena Williams. I dont care to meet no rapper, actress, not Oprah, the president or politician, just this amazing ICON ....and BTW whoever made this video, likes to make people cry. What a beautiful tribute, THANKS! #Rena'sArmy #TheWilliamSisters #Legend #GOAT #TheAngleQueen #AceBaby #23GrandSlams #Serens'Slam #TheComeBackQueen #GoldMedel #Mother&Wife #Power #Resiliant #VenusLittleSister #Icon #BusinessSavy #TripleThreat #TheGreatest!!!
Me too give me serena any day, any time I do not watch these last days tennis only the old ones by my 👑 my husband always said how many times you gonna watch the same 😅😆😁
Absolutely amazing. Love her or hate her you have to respect her game. Thank you Serena for making a difference for women in general and women of color specifically.
Journalists were saying, she’s 29 and badly injured, and wrote her off! But she won about 9 GS after 29. No one has changed the game like Serena. She’s the reason others now have a game filled with hard hitters, but she was criticized for it. They said she was too muscular & strong. She was cheated so much that Hawk-Eye had to be implemented. Booed by her own country, while opponents were cheered, and we know why! They said she’s the best cause of doping. But when she always tested negative, they were silent. Some will never give her her Props, but that’s OK, she’s still the GOAT per the majority!!! 😂😂
To be honest you said it all it has always been respec not love we have spent so much time in trying to be loved that would never happen the most important thing is respect. I live in a country where I am not loved no am I even welcomed but I am highly respected because I have earned that respect starting it to myself working very hard and very smart and they don't have no choice but to respect me. I know that they hate me so much but I have not given them the avenue to disrespect me.
Serena and Venus are the only reasons I ever picked up a racket. I watched their 4 finals in 2002-03 as a kid and thought how amazing it would be to have their talent.
“I’m Serena” what more is there to say. Thank you for the memories watching and cheering you on with my family from the beginning right to the bittersweet end. 🎉🥳🥰
CRYING!!!!! 😭🥺😭 THANKS SERENA FOR ALL THE INSPIRATIONS YOU SHOWED THE WORLD! PROUD TO HAVE LIVE IN YOUR ERA FOR ALL OF THIS. WE WILL MISS YOU QUEEN AND THE ONE AND ONLY GOAT!!! ❤️
Se va la Reina, pero queda la Reina para la historia del tenis!! Gracias Serena por tanta felicidad que nos regalaste, cada vez que jugaste con ese ímpetu desgarrándote el alma y cuerpo!! Jamás te olvidaremos!! Tu nombre se escribe con letras de oro en el universo del tenis!! 🎾🎾Te deseamos mucha felicidad. Eres lo máximo!! Bendiciones!!
Keep calm fans & love tennis, adorable Serena is such a huge inspiration for all of us, young generations deserve to give it a try and reach such EPIC levels indeed, sports competitions are giving us such emotions that worth all the money in the world
2:26 ... Steffi Graf retired soon after this match. Steffi won Roland Garros vs Martina Hingis, so I guess this was sort of like passing the torch, even though neither knew at the what a significant match this was.
This tribute was very well put together! I watched it again and again! You did an excellent job! Thank you because I am a very big fan of Serena Williams!
Hands down, the greatest tennis player of all time, in my honest opinion. Thank you so much, Serena for a splendid 23-year career and influence on and outside the courts of tennis.
Serena Williams (1999-2017) A tennis legacy stalled at 23 Grand Slam Singles titles. Once Serena stopped feeling like she had anything left to prove, the fiery need to win and silence naysayers was gone. Hingis, Henin, and Capriati had long retired. Sharapova was a rival effectively silenced in 2005. Azarenka lifted but never fully toppled her game. Venus hadn't beaten her in a GS Final since 2008. Serena's physical fitness began to slowly decline after FO 2015 while her playing ability began to decline after pregnancy. The C-section messed up her core and she never won a slam after giving birth. Not advancing at USO '15 was the beginning of the end. She was visibly less fit compared to AO and FO '15 and the loss to Vinci in the SF was a major dent to her mental game. She could be cracked. WC '15 and '16 were the last times Serena would beat someone at a GS final who wasn't Sharapova or Venus. Serena would go on to lose SIX GS finals in FOUR years (2016-2019). Somehow Patrick remained her coach. Once Serena matched and then broke Steffi's record with WC '16 and AO '17, it was over. Perhaps Serena could've gotten to 24 or 25 GS if only she had held off on getting pregnant and let the naysaying blonde tennis Karens fuel her gameplay to another win. Alas, with four post-pregnancy GS final defeats, other players had her number. Poor comparative physical fitness, age, and weaknesses in her game well studied and exploited by younger players meant that her legacy was left incomplete and surpassable. So disappointing. The ride was thrilling while it lasted.
Just think if it wasn't a Serena but Venus only. Still it wouldn't be easy for many. But because they always play each other in the finals most times. To me its no such thing as a lost when they had to play each other. Them two sisters are both winners.
@@marcusgraham5084 Let's give Serena a wooden racquet and see how well she would do!!! Math trumps all - isn't that how most things in sport are decided?
I never liked seeing Venus playing Serena, but by doing so they increased each other's game and the Women's Tennis draws/players coming in/attention to Women's Tennis/more equal play/U.S.A. domination of rankings/level of play/etc.....
Nope. What you said is wrong. There is a difference between Grand Slam titles and other titles. Serena has 23 Grand Slam titles, but she has 114 titles in total.
Not just in USA And in most of Asia and as far as I know in Russia and Middle East, Serena is also seen as the greatest in a most competitive tennis era. After Serena? Who cares? Probably one or two here who always take old-era Graf as the best do care. When they always like to talk about what is outside Germany they automatically think their Europe means all outside Germany while except the USA, Russia Asia and Middle East and Africa which really occupy most parts of the globe do not belong to the world. Tennis is already a real global all-people sport not an almost European&USA White-race narrow one in Graf's era. So the few can change nothing about Serena's status in history. The fact they always try to detract from Serena's feat under her videos and give ridiculous conclusions (such as she is most hated???) all proves Serena is really the greatest and so influential and incurs so much jealousy
@@carrerau7138 Wow Your magazine in France and Europe represents the majority in the world? France and Europe are not the world. If you like to think so that only means how narrow-minded you are. I hope you are so happy about that result from France.
@@carrerau7138 Of course if you know more languages you will know why Serena is mostly seen as the greatest in the world except in Europe. The era has long changed. It's already a world of tennis not an Europe of tennis like the past. Her global fan base is really large. Almost all non-European first or biggest tennis stars in other regions rose in Serena's era
@@carrerau7138 India's so far most popular star Mirza rose in Serena's era. Do they know Serena or Graf better? China sorry most of them know little about Graf but all tennis fans know Serena Williams because of her rival Li Na. They may not like Serena but they all recognize Serena's greatest. If you stay there longer or know Chinese language it's easy to know the difference. My tip: you can continue to tout Graf as the best or more but that only represents your place, at most most of Europe, please do not say you represent the world's majority thx They don't want to be represented
@@carrerau7138 The two places that like to poll in English are Europe and USA. But sorry the rest of the world can never be represented by your so-called poll. You need to know their language or live there to know how Serena is visible and famous among tennis fans and even common people and how little is known about Graf. Of course as I said they may not like Serena because of her power over their national rival tennis icons but they know how super good Serena is.
@@carrerau7138 At least East Asia and Russia can not be represented by your Europe poll. These are the two places I know most. Sorry they really know little about Graf not to mention popularity. For Serena they may not all like her for multiple reasons but they recognize her greatest tennis levels. So please do not try to represent the peoples out of your place. Both Europe and of course USA too like to do so through their own so-called polls. Sorry the world is not what you think is.
Nadal Federer is even greater than Djokovic serena Williams because he has all types of titles Olympic Gold Single Doubles, Grand Slam Singles Doubles Mix Doubles....and others
Court has more Slams, and if you want to go by resume in more recent times, Graf is the better choice by far. 1 less Slam and more than twice as many tournaments won, and she did all of that before retiring at the age of 29.
Newsflash! Serena ain't the GOAT lol. Steffi is the one and only GOAT! Serena won 23 Slams and Steffi won 22 Slams. BUT Serena played 27 years and Steffi played 16 years! So Serena played 11 more years and only won one more Slam than Steffi. Hello!! lol Steffi is the GOAT.
Duh???? Since when was 23 more than 24?? Sorry Serena and your misguided fans - you're only a GBOAT - Greatest black of all time. What's wrong with being #2 anyway????
Your SOPHISTICATED RACISM is showing. But anyway, 23 in the OPEN ERA is more impressive than an old, racist wretch who got 24 when no one was watching.
When she said i want other people to be like me, i swear that hit true... Welldone Serena. Well done!!!
Like a prophecy. God is in all all of us as you can see. Little girl told her us her future. Amazing
