As for her sister Venus Williams, she was out of the tournament in the first round where she lost to Alison Van Uytvanck. Both the sisters will still be in action at the doubles tournament although they lost in the first round of the US Open. After her third-round loss, Serena tearfully said, “I thank everyone here, who have been on my side for so many years. So many years. Decades. Literally decades. But it all started with my parents and they deserve everything. So I am very grateful to them. I wouldn’t be Serena if there were no Venus. So, thank you, Venus.”

Serena Williams made the Forbes list of American Self-made Women this year. She has said, “The only way that people can get funding is if people like me, women and people of colour, are actually writing the checks. Otherwise, it’s going to be the same boys’ club, except not for a lot of Black people.”

According to the WTA, Serena Williams has won $94.5 million in prize money throughout her career; more than any player in female tennis history. Venus Williams herself is an advocate for equal pay in tennis.
