Serena Williams' debut at the US Open! | US Open 1998 

literally finished it 10 minutes ago, I wonder if they'll do a part 2 focusing on Serena

You are so right I’ve been trying to learn everything about them I have so much more respect for the whole family after the movie I didn’t know how loving the father and mother were

Same. I’m obsessed and now a tennis fan😂 I could watch tennis all day now. The skills it takes to be competitive really impresses/interests me. I wish I was introduced to the sport at a young age, I think I would’ve liked it😭

🙋🏽‍♀️

@@albertcallwood5478 have respect for the sisters so much that i played tennis for years wanting to be like Serena, but not so much Richard. He left his other family of 5 behind to marry Serena and Venus’ mother and never gave the other kids on his side the time of day. You don’t father children just to leave them in the dust

The big caboose

@ILLEGITIMATE DEMENTED Joe lol. Honestly, when I watched Williams for the first time and dominating, I sometime wonder if that's a man vs woman because it looks unfair. I feel like I am watching a woman with strength of a man against woman and I lost interest in the match. Perhaps she has high level of testosterones? Today, in Olympics they banned females runners from that sort of thing. I know it's a controversial topic but if they can test her and found out she doesn't have high level of testosterones, then her talents is accepted, otherwise there's always the question of what if.

@@reptilexcq2 your statement is obviously racist. Did you feel the same way about Navratilova in the 80's? The DSD athletes in track is also racist because it affect mostly African athletes. Plus there is no test for DSD athletes in any other sports than athletic. Plus Sakkari of Greece is much more ripped than Serena and she isn't close to being number 1 in the world.

@ILLEGITIMATE DEMENTED Joe Jalousy will give you heart diseases.

@@reptilexcq2 Jalousy will give you heart diseases. Serena Williams is a legend and changed the game of tennis.

With the hair and everything lol

Mike Tyson ?

Michael Jordan?

@@johnre5342 In terms of just being feared by the competition, I might compare them. But when you consider that Tyson's reign only lasted half a decade at best, while Serena's was over 15 years, then they aren't really comparable.

@@MACK0142 the original comment was about making a shift in sports and coming in loud and changing everything.Mike tyson did that. The comment wasn't about longevity or for how long they played. The comment was about the immediate impact they had. Just as mike tyson had.

"she doesnt almost holds" She holds it...

@@chrisarmelseyibayebek4977 Yes, she holds it for black people. For white people, there is Margaret with more.

@@peter130476 23 is the black and white record in professionnal tennis, No one but some people Who can digest that "horrible truth" give a shit about the amateur erea...

@@peter130476 just tell me one thing. Do you get paid for being a racist ?

She does hold the record. Court won like 11 gs in the open era and most people who are basically illiterate don't even know the importance of open era and how tough and challenging it is.

She was hungry to stand on her own🥰

Serena is power speed precision lethal

Mental toughness? Really? She has a history of mental weakness and poor sportsmanship. There are two incidents that stand out: She bullied a lineswoman. She bullied the umpire and indirectly Osaka. She gets undeserved accolades for obvious reasons. To me her legacy is trash even if she wins 30 slams.

@@Thisisfifty..she is the greatest...

@@Thisisfifty She is the greatest

Yes, she is the -Greatest Of All Time -GOAT 🐐

absolutely 💯

I agree! The Williams’ sisters are the best of the best. 🌟

TOTALLY AGREE ISHI THEY WERE BRILLIANT TO WATCH NO ONE WILL EVET MATCH THEM 👍👍

Serena Williams has a little one..... definitely the legacy will continue

Totally agree. I only hope they are more young African Americans that can impact the sport. It's a fantastic sport and great for youth and also people of all ages.

@Keke Snow Tarot actually that is exactly what some (who shall remain nameless) of the commentators kept saying for a while when she and Venus turned pro.

*Brought

I know! As a young black girl, I was so proud to see them in their beads.

Sunshine, they lost some beads when they played-even lost some points because of the beads!📿

Two decades

Simply..impossible to fall off...

@@ivoryreese8611 Yes, I remember those beads falling....

Yeahh...you are so right. Something about that smile hit me hard and i couldn't understand why i felt that way until i saw your comment and am like...yeahhh that's it

Did they actually not sponsor them??? Why? That was a really dumb decision.

@@gk891 They hand Hingis.

@@MrBjorn6 Did that mean that they couldn't sponsor Venus and Serena as well?

you haven't seen me

me better than her

They are the best tennis players of all time.

@@youtubecommenter1000 You haven't seen me play

Not just one of the best, the 🐐 GOAT!

Also the awareness and skill to do 3:38

Yes, that footwork is pure athleticism!!

Exactly!!!

3:38 is one example

I hope the movie met your expectations because it certainly exceeded mine. Now I'm binging on their highlights lol

Monica Seles started the women's power game not the Williams.

Women's tennis has always been on the map before the Williams sister.

🔥 - Exactly, Venus and Serena were groundbreaking... You can tell by all of the negativity in the comments section... SALUTE TO VENUS AND SERENA ! ❤️👏🏼👏🏼

@@marcus.g.4273 now all the girls wanna have a big serve like them and have powerful ground strokes

Woman’s tennis was great way before the Williams. Martina, Steffi, Monica, Lindsay were all amazing champions.

@@davidparker8309 That’s your opinion & that’s so cute 😅 However we know better

I think he will be honestly. Well deserved

Nominated and likely top 3 in the list.

Just don't slap no one 😅

I remember when they had news stories about how those beads where distracting in the game of tennis. I also remember the news stories about how they grunted too much. SMH.

I remember when the people would laugh at them for rocking their beads.

@@rueben44 me too

@@rueben44 the grunts as well. Nobody would talk to them on the tour but they had each other.

Yes they had each other and you're correct they had a hard time yet they were winning made a lot them retire.

Nothing spiritual about that

exactly! ... the actual score was anything but "sizzling."

Me too)))

Sorry but I have to disagree

Loved the hair as well

The hair was just a distraction

@@tiffanyrambo8040 a distraction?! To what? How well she played?! Her service and returns moved so fast for the ladies they barely knew how to perceive it. The beads were the last thing on their opponents minds 😂 Unless you mean a distraction for the sisters themselves. As they got older and more experience the beads would fall on the court and cause them to trip so they were hazardous for certain!

That would be funny but I remember when they got rid of them because their beads were falling off and they were tripping over them. The Queens can't afford to have those type of self-inflicted hazards in their life!

Right. Lol.

Hahahahaha That would be awesome

The beads are played out now!

I would love to see it since i didnt witness it.

I honestly think Venus could've achieved a lot more if it hadn't been for her autoimmune problems. She became a shadow of her former self after a while. She was especially stunning during the 2000 and 2001 summer hardcourt seasons. But the fact that she's still around after all these years and is still playing relatively well is a testament to how great she is.

No, she is not. Sorry, facts are facts and don't care for your opinion.

What happend?

@@BEE-od3li Spirlea bumped into Venus as she was making her way to a seated break. She then laughed with her box about it whilst she was on the court and then made some comments about Venus during the press conference.

Especially since Serena won the second set 6-0!

Yes, I wish I started playing then as well!!

I have been watching and enjoying WTA Since the early 80s!

True..and disrespectful 🤣

Just contemptuous. As if to say, “what’s that, a serve?”

Serving while the ball person was nearly on court and still moving to his spot was a cheeky choice.

@@spencophany2307 It's OK when Federer or untold number of white males do it now. Fact.

Do you really have to bring Maria Sharapova in every damn video of Williams? This is about Serena Williams, so let's just enjoy it and not bring bad shades here, sigh.

@@neptune1525 I guess people feel that she shouldn’t have used peds when it’s considered Serena did… Idk

@@neptune1525 I guess people feel that she shouldn’t have used peds when it’s considered Serena did… Idk

Yep! I see it too. Makes sense because Serena always says she copied everything her big sister did :)

Yes it definitely was an incredible return!

Well damn u old

@@meshackmusic Wellllll..... yah.
