The 2021 US Open saw Russia's Daniil Medvedev and Great Britain's Emma Raducanu claim the men's and women's singles titles. It was both players' first major title, with 18-year-old Raducanu becoming the first-ever qualifier to achieve the feat.

Oh Olympia I can’t wait for the moment where you are grown enough and be aware of how incredible and inspirational your mother and aunt will be for the rest of humanity.
The greatest part about the story of the Williams sisters isn’t their trophies or medals, it’s their love for each other. Two of the greatest athletes!
I love Venus so much, she's so sweet and gentle! You can see in her eyes how much love she has for her little sister. The both sisters are an example for us.
I love their bond, it's because of them that most young people got into tennis 🎾
Two tennis legends. Enough said.
Venus is very gentle and always gracious. Her style of playing is quite old fashioned and graceful.
Agreed, she's all class and pure athleticism.
Both Sisters dominate the Sport for 20 years truly a long great legacy for both, becoming World #1 , Won Championships, Gold medals, and on and on, truly there will not be another type of them for the next 100 years if not.
Despite, the lack of MAJOR support early-on from her own countrymen, the lack of lucrative corporate sponsorship offers early-on, the most discouraging of difficulty imposed from those involved in/with the Tennis industry - on & off the court..
SERENA & VENUS, EXCELLED!
Against all odds: racism, misogyny, unequal drug testing harrassment, biased criticisms, body shaming, unequal sponsorship offers, bigoted press headlines, etc.. whilst, also forcing other players to consistently raise their game levels of power, increased ball speed, strategical tactics and logistical ball placements.
SERENA & VENUS, EXCELLED!
Serena & Venus are "the true essence of the impossible - achieving what is possible"..
~Will Smith
We are all eye-witnessing real-time, TENNIS LEGENDS! ❤🎾👸
So beautifully stated!!
Lack of lucrative sponsorships 😂😂😂😂. I remember back in 2001 Forbes estimated Serena made $7 million while Hingis made $5 million. Despite the fact Serena only won 1 gs by then never became world no 1 at that point while Hingis won 5 GS and already been no 1 for 200 weeks. By 2004 Serena Williams received the biggest sponsorship deals from Nike at $40 million which is the highest paid ever in tennis history for men or women at that time.
Venus had massive endorsememts as kid. Atleast search properly
@@AdyHh-up9ez Exactly. I remember the hype they got when they first played pro. It was bigger than Davenport & Hingis who were already Grand Slam champions and world no 1. They received far more sponsprship than those 2 received even before they were world no 1. Being black & sisters helped them a lot because the media always hype them up with the 2 black sisters from compton making it all the way to the top narratives. If anything being black helps them. Lol.
I wish they would play doubles together again been a long time since either one has played miss them both
In 2020 they played, it went to a three set thriller match!
@@gurumoorthya7123 The original commenter meant them playing doubles together like them two on the same team playing against another doubles team
As racist and nasty as that 2001 US Open crowd was to Venus in that semifinal, she still spoke well of Jennifer when she had zero obligation to do so. Venus has been such an amazing example of class and integrity in women’s tennis, and for American society as a whole. These two women changed the world in more ways than just tennis.
👸🏾👸🏾🎾🙏🏾😃❤️
Look at the match against Clijsters at the 2009 US Open 4 round the crowd was cheering for Clijsters. Can you imagine playing in your home grand slam and the crowd cheering for a player from a different country. Racism to me
Absolutely. Those racist, I wonder where they are hiding now, probably in their little holes.
America was very mean to them when they started. America never likes to own their current racism. Thirty years from now, they’ll say, yes it was racist back then, but let’s forget about that, and move on to the future! But they said the same with Mohammed Ali. They said, yes America was racist thirty years ago in the 60s, but when the 1980s arrived, they liked Ali, and said the country was wrong and racist back then, but let’s move on.
They always wait 20/30 years before they acknowledge their racism. So we never get to deal with it properly in real time. That’s why it never gets fixed. That’s the way they’re still in denial about saying Serena is the best tennis player ever, and she was born and bred American, but they much rather say others who weren’t born in America and didn’t accomplish as much as Serena, are supposedly better.
Who would believe Americans said the same about Blacks playing football and basketball, as they didn’t think they could play as well as Whites. Same with Serena, it’s hard for them to accept a Black woman was the best Player in a sport they considered set aside for Whites. So in 30 years, their grandkids will say, y’all actually thought Serena who had that many Olympic Gold medals, Singles titles, Doubles titles, and No 1 rankings wasn’t considered the best by y’all! That’s like pulling teeth!
That’s America racist against black Americans.
How prophetic when Serena said, You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet”, back in 2001, and she was right! Having won 2 Gold Medals, Doubles Champions several times, and 23 Single Grand Slams, and No. 1 for over a hundred weeks, there’s nobody in tennis that tops that record, even her haters have to be honest about that! The GOAT!! 😀
Quite emotional to watch... I wished Venus won more because she's such a gentle soul, but Serena is simply the G.O.A.T.
We are blessed to have them play in our generation.
They left a legacy for generations nah! As long as this sport exist , as long as this universe knows tennis
I still have PTSD from that US Open 2015. Two of the best athletes ever and an inspiration to so many. I'm going to miss them when they retire.
"You haven't seen anything yet". Indeed!
Thanks for uploading the documentary on the superb Venus and Serena Williams. ❤ ✌
Beautiful story of 2 legendary queens 👸🏾👸🏾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾💖💖💖💖💖💖🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎🤟🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
I was drawn to tennis because of the Williams sisters. Tennis for me has lost its magnetism and luster. No one currently in the game is as exciting.
Heard the name....
Carlos Alcaraz Garfia
@@atulsingh958 yaah, he is THE one to watch
Wow it really greatest of all time for both of u venus n Serena ...
In spite of most people looking at them for entertainment, they worked hard and were on a mission to win and be the best. They succeeded beyond my wildest dreams, I hope other players step it up, if not I’m done with tennis only watched because of Venus and Serena.
@@ctaylor1586 i m agree with u
Love this 25 min documentary.
"You guys haven't seen anything yet" GOAT! 🐐
OK 👌🏾
She fought ‘till the end. What a warrior!
We loved your fashion presentations and style that both you and your sister introduced to the sport of tennis. It will go down in history. Now its back to normal boring outfits. A lot of black fokes turned in because or the drama and the camaraderies you bought to the sport. The majority of blacks watch it because of you both. Black don't really watch tennis. Thanks for introducing us to the sport.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 my Idol Queen Serena Williams ❤️
Peace family Williams
Depuis la France
Beautiful ❤️
This is just beautiful and Tennis is being watched by more people because of these 2 women. 💯💪🏿🙏🏿
This was wonderfully done.
Been your fan since day one, and always will be!!! 💜💜🙋♀️🙋♀️
such a beautiful video, thank you!
If they didn’t have to play eachother they probably could’ve won even more
I can't imagine having to compete with sister/brother in professional sports
The best 💙
Amazing 👏
Esa agresividad que tenía en 2001 volviera con Serena versión 2022😔😔 el hambre de triunfos y de gloria retornarán a su juego por última vez antes de su retiro? 😟😟
Quizás no ya tienen su $$$$$$$

Don’t care what anyone says, these women changed tennis for a lifetime. Blood, sweat, and tears they fought through all adversity in (a) merica. Small a on purpose! And throughout the world. Class Queens they deserve their flowers while they live period. THEY CHANGED TENNIS FOREVER!
Serena venus vs êtes les meilleures parmi toutes les meilleures féminimes du tennis et le record mondial inchallahu
I am a huge fan of Venus but everyone is so focus on Serena her talent and her greatness is hardly spoke of.
🥳🥳🥳
Where is AO 2017 Final
This is about the US Open only. See that they did not show anything about Wimbly or the French Open either.

The William brothers!
Kardeş kardeşe maç :)
And after Alllllll the hardships and racism they faced they Still ended up in relationships with whyte partners just like the NBA, NFL Hollywood etc…. The list goes on smdh😐 as a people we need help we really need our brains 🧠 checked
So what!! Serena date her fair-share of black celebrity males.
@ToOpen6seven the mammy wants bw to settle for just any black man. It was obviousvery OBVIOUS the brothers weren't checking for her. So you want her to go pick up a homeless man or remain single? Bm clowned her and called her manly and unattractive. It is okay if you wan to settle but please don't project it on them. They tried
They both were very beautiful women. I just wonder what Serena has done to herself. I know ppl age but that is not what I see in her, it seems like something more. And I know THEY ARE NOT MEN.
Yeah, like some kind of botox/filler action?

aww can't get over stuff right? You poor soul. I will pray for you and your haunted memory _/\_ .I am sure you're very fun at parties XD
The Williams scam, men not women !
There are worse things to be. They could be a miserable and pathetic human like you. Better to be any name you'd call them than to be YOU
Its you again hiding in your little hole trying to be heard. But the world know people like you and your kind now. Hate always disappear into the hole.
Mr. Patrick: that's a very rude thing to say. There are many players who look very muscular, why you never said anything negative about them. Have some manners and show respect to the best players in the history of tennis.
Their Mom and Dad did a wonderful job at raising them and getting them to where they are today!! Venus and Serena gave us 20 years of wonderful tennis and epic matches and it was such an amazing treat for us to watch them play!! The movie King Richard was also such a wonderful movie !!! ❤❤❤❤❤
