Quote

I never left my roots. You can identify me as someone that didn't become high and mighty. Humility is a defining [trait] all of us can forever learn, and I try to be as humble as anyone can be.

Think of all the girls who could become top athletes but quit sports because they're afraid of having too many defined muscles and being made fun of or called unattractive.

I'm an unbelievable designer. I don't know how I know and just do these things. I just start sketching and then I just know the colors and I always know the forecast. I know green and purple are going to be hot. I was born to be a designer. I worked hard to be a tennis player, I don't work hard to be a designer.
Serena Williams
Image
I got involved in the design process a long time ago. I've been working with their main designer [Berlei] for a while. It's been really fun all around.

If I have a daughter and she plays tennis, and I have a son who plays tennis, I wouldn't say that my son deserves more money because he's a man. I would say they deserve the same amount of money.

I really hope that I can be helpful in that journey because I do believe that women deserve the same pay. We work just as hard as men do. I've been working, playing tennis, since I was three years old. And to be paid less just because of my sex - it doesn't seem fair.

I think my father is probably the best coach ever because, if we talk about numbers, he's got a lot and he's only had two players.
Serena Williams
Image
I want it to be more natural. Right now it feels really forced. Seems like I've never done a curtsy before, which may be true. But I'm looking forward to nailing it.

I'm a big supporter of this product for women. And [my relationship with the brand Berlei] was so organic. I would go to the store and buy 40 or 50 bras every year because I could only get them in Australia at the time. And then eventually they heard that I would come and take all the stock.

Tennis just a game, family is forever.

My dad is the nicest guy you'll ever meet, and the easiest going.

It's amazing, but I guess that happens when you become overly famous. Every week now, I get more famous.
Serena Williams

I always ask my dad why wasn't I a lefty? Even when I was younger I wanted to be lefty. I could have been really good.
