Serena Williams has had a fairytale journey to the top of women’s tennis. Born and brought up in a humble background, she worked hard with her elder sister, Venus Williams, and her father, Richard Williams, to excel in the sport. Further, the hard work paid off as Serena has gone on to win an incredible 23 Grand Slam titles over the years.
Last year, the King Richard movie, based on the contribution of Williams sisters’ father to their success was released. It was well accepted and won praises from the critics. Additionally, it received several honors at award ceremonies.

Beyonce performed for this song on the same courts where the Williams sisters played tennis during their early days in the sport. Lauding Beyonce for her effort, Serena said, “Beyonce is a genius. I think she is, obviously, the most amazing person and performer ever and I really liked her idea behind it. Like to have the idea to come up and perform where we grew up. Because I went back and I thought, ‘Can I even begin to fathom having such a superstar come back and do that at those courts.’ “
Further, she added, “It would have just made me want to go to practice every single day even more so. She doesn’t even understand [how many] people she has inspired and how she made us feel on a level I can’t even begin to describe in words. It goes even beyond that, because she provided so much inspiration to so many little kids in Compton. It was so great and such a wonderful performance.”
