The Garbine one got me. I’ve never heard her site Serena as her influence before. I remember when Garbine beat Serena at the French Open second round. Serena came to net and said, “Girl, you can play!” Of course they continued to be bitter rivals but they both respected each other a ton. So thankful Garbine opened up about what Serena has meant to her. Just wow!

[@KCNwokoye]

Wow Garbine sharing such a personal story is so touching and I'm so glad that they did this for her. Congrats Serena and God bless you!

Muguruza really made me cry 😭😭😭😭 wow I loved her segment! Venus and Serena changed the game with their athleticism and power hitting! They were amazing to see and inspired so many! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jazmineee8512]

Right lol

[@Firenze1921]

And also from Dementieva, Zvonareva, Bianca and so on. Basically almost every player should make a send-off video for Serena

[@udaygadge6064]

Also henin, hingis, capriati who actually were competitive against Serena

[@A_friendwithoutbenefits]

There's no way Maria Sharapova is making a tribute video for Serena lol. They hate each other

Venus was definitely inspired by Serena, but Serena says she wouldn't be if there wasn't Venus

Its an end of a great Era. Great influence, perfect example of an athlete to working hard.

I’d always known how impactful Serena had been for brown and Black girls, particularly in the US. One of the things I loved about this video was a reminder that she inspired little girls of all backgrounds all over the world to believe and to dream too. Mugu made me tear up ❤️😭

Love hearing from her colleagues

[@frankiehunter.]

Yesterday Serena destroyed Anette Kontaveit in the third set. And Anette is second in the rankings. How on earth can she play so brilliantly being almost 41 years old?

[@willybeama1]

We have asked questions of her like this for a couple decades now. She is just one of those that had talent galore. They only come around every once and again.

She and Venus are the reasons why i follow tennis.

[@parisgittens7272]

I see no problem with Serena’s tweet. Serena GOAT is allowed to still compete off the court. Especially when a trial has determined doping had happened. Interested to see what happens with Simona’s appeal

[@Setana815]

It's sad because there is no Halep in it. She admired Serena a lot but I guess PM has destroyed the bond they had with each other.

[@alexfrosa2163]

What do you mean by PM? I agree though that Simona should have been part of the video.

Beleza pura,,

[@andrewmoores7166]

I particularly enjoyed the day she threatened to kill a line judge.

[@blorp4251]

yet she didn't. A true testament to the beauty and absoluteness of human emotion-- that we can say and do such terrible things but they also stop us from saying and doing terrible things to do magnificent things from them as well. let's not let one blunder define a person's career. Unfortunately the lineswoman received the full impact of her frustration but let's not forget that she did apologize for threatening to shove the tennis ball down her throat(not kill her; let's not make assumptions in matters of taking a life) AND walked over to her opponent's side of the court to congratulate them immediately(probably because she wanted to gtfo asap)...

[@judenzhective5459]

Great. Now go play in traffic

[@marcusgraham5084]

I'm sure John McEnroe has done worse and others before her. And am sure they were unapologetic about it. Stop making it sound like she is the first and only person in the sport to display that type of behaviour. It may come across as you being racist.

[@SalRN14]

As a Mexican I only got interested in tennis because of Venus and Serena. They made me want to learn this "white" sport. After this USOpen I'll continue playing but once her and Vee are gone there'll be no reason for me to continue watching. Well except for Nadal on the ATP but yeah there'll never be other players like them who completely evolutionized the WTA style of play. I recall the "Pros" critiquing their open stance, their swing volleys, staying inside the back line to return serves, and them not playing juniors. They hated Richard bc he said they'd be the best and guess what - now everybody hits with an open stance and hits swing volleys. So yup, they did more than that but it's a small sample of how they changed women's tennis forever

[@baumer2504]

Nah

Don’t jump to conclusions. She may prefer to keep her feelings to herself. Just a guess.
