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.

The tournament means so much to me as well as the things I do in Africa. I thought it could also work well together.
Serena Williams
Image
I'm proud to have opened [two] schools in Africa and one in Jamaica [through the Serena Williams Fund and its partners]. I was given a lot. I was given two parents. That's already starting above a lot of kids. And then I was given the opportunity to play tennis and parents who supported that. I feel I can give back.

I'm playing to around 30% of my potential - you'd be shocked at what I could do.
Serena Williams
Image
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've almost lost several times but come through that. Being able to play your way through the tournament is really able to help.

I played pretty well in my twenties, don't get me wrong! But my consistency is better [in my thirties], my momentum is better, my wins are quicker.

I'm not used to crying. It's a little difficult. All my life I've had to fight. It's just another fight I'm going to have to learn how to win, that's all. I'm just going to have to keep smiling.

I talked with Tom Hanks. I saw that movie 'Turner and Hooch' at least 50 times. It took all my guts to go up to him. I went up to him, I was like, 'Can I have a picture?' We talked acting he wanted to know what I was doing. We talked a little tennis. I mean, he knew all about myself and my sister.

My mom taught me how to sew when I was super young I used to make clothes for my dolls. When I finally went to [fashion design] school [in 1999], I really took to pattern making. Everyone in class was good at something I was the person, if you need help with your patterns, you come to me and I would help you out.

We all know who the real number one is. Quite frankly, I'm the best in the world.

Hopefully, we can build a rivalry and we'll be able to do this a lot. Make a legacy, then retire champions.

I love going to movies.

I don't want to be like some of those celebrities walking around, just so full of themselves. I always want to be down-to-earth, want to be a person like when you meet them, they're the same person that you think of them in the article or something.

Tennis is my job, but it's not my life.

I love metaphors. I've never been on this train. ... If I'm standing on the middle of a track, I'm definitely going to get derailed. I have to make sure that I'm on the train and not in front of it.

Venus told me the other day that champions don't get nervous in tight situations. That really helped me a lot. I decided I shouldn't get nervous and just do the best I can.
Serena Williams
Image
I need to be at my peak and my best is holding up the trophy. Anything less I wouldn't be really excited about. So that's all I can focus on.

Dad thanks for leaning in by helping me become a role model for young girls.
