00:00When these two girls came along with so much confidence, so much of a belief, who are black,
00:23they did not come from a tennis background, people could sense that tennis was changing.
00:35When Serena Williams, when she was on her front foot, in your face, you had no chance.
00:42She was different.
00:43She was powerful.
00:45She was really aggressive.
00:47She mowed through the best players at the time.
00:502002 is really when Serena goes solo.
00:54She's playing so amazingly and so far ahead of everybody else that it is hard to ever
00:59really keep her in conversation as the Williams sisters.
01:02She's now just Serena Williams, or even just Serena.
01:11She's Serena Williams.
01:13She is more than an athlete.
01:15She can design clothes for Fashion Week.
01:18She can wear what she wants to wear and inspire other people.
01:22Serena was telling people, you can be strong and feminine.
01:25You can be beautiful, but you're still out there to kick butt.
01:29She had become like her own celebrity outside of sport.
01:32People knew her name everywhere.
01:46It's Serena against the world.
01:48As she ages, it's going to keep getting better.

02:07What she's done in the ripple and the cascade, this is what dreams are made of.
02:11You cannot make this stuff up.
