As Serena Williams bids farewell at the US Open, we examine the legacy of the African-American girl from Compton, California, who changed the sport of tennis forever.
From racial equality and equal pay to fashion and motherhood, we look at Serena’s influence on and off the court and hear how she inspired a diverse new generation of players.
We hear about the fun-loving, playful Serena from her former fitness coach and close friend Mackie Shilstone and discuss what the future holds for one of the most important sportspeople of all time.
