    I love the quote ..
    If U can't fly , then run
    If U can't run , then walk
    If you can't walk, then crawl
    But what ever you do you have to keep going.

      I worked at wimbledon this year and I was doing bag searches at the practise courts. Venus comes along and plonks a small drawstring bag in front of me, I'm like *omfg it's Venus Williams, it's Venus Williams* despite the fact I've seen/searched her before, and I say hi and she says hi and then she's like "no bands today?" and for a second I'm a bit stumped, confused, but then I realise she means the colour tags/bands we put on the players bags each day in the practise courts so I'm dying inside trying to keep my professionalism together and I just go "ahahaha, yeah, no we do it's green today!... green and yellow." and she's just like "mmhmm... thank you" after she gets her green tag and goes off to the courts. All the time inside I just wanted to tell her she's amazing and I love her but I had to stay professional because the supervisor is right behind me etc.
      But yeah, that's my encounter with Venus this year. I felt so blessed man, so blessed. Of all the players here I just felt like Venus was the ultimate last standing veteran and I have SO much respect for her grind!

    Venus, you really surprise me! Thank you for giving us these insights into your mind and heart, your life. From the outside, seeing the results, as a fan, one thinks, "Well, she's 39, Father Time has passed her by. Might be time to hang up the racquet." And yet here you are stating how much you STILL love to compete, how you want to keep on fighting, and your goal is to win! If that's not inspiring, I don't know what is! With this level of dedication, I have no doubt that not only will you crawl, walk, run, but fly and achieve your goals. I've always liked you and Serena and rooted for you all's success, but now seeing this more personal side of you makes me think so much more of you as a person. Thank you for sharing and best to you not only on the tennis court but in all your endeavours and life in general....

Learn from it. 2. Push on FORWARD in whatever way we can. 3. Remember it is a privilege to be able to do what we are doing. GOT IT! Thanks.

The only sport I did anything good at was tennis, never above 2.5, and that is why I have followed you, and others, since you turned pro. Now retired and on SSA I am a furniture and furnishings designer and maker. The first prototype of my first project worked. It did not fall apart, or break, or be too unworkable to be of value. Oh! It is not perfect, but I can now move forward from here. Thus as you say “keep moving forward!”. Good luck to you. I will keep watching, Good vid!

I also thought about a big difference between 1997 and 2019 being then she was out there on her own, breaking down barriers. Now, those coming behind her have it so much easier, including Serena, thanks to her Thank you for the lessons and for the joy of having you in my living room all these years!

I always want to see her win even against Serena, I never tired of seeing Venus win.

    I watched that game and I was delighted. I did not see it as a lose for Venus but the introduction of a new generation inspired by the Williams sisters. You changed tennis in the 90s and dominated the scene in the last 20 years. You have to believe that you have a legacy that will last for generations to come. Thank you for being such an inspiration to many and continue to be great. #EleVenbyVenus
