At first, I just saw them as a sports fan.

Serena, she was onIy 1 7
at the time,
28
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,481
and she just gave this aura
out that, you know,
29
00:01:46,648 --> 00:01:48,191

dunk a basketbaII.
35

DAVE RINEBERG:
Venus can get from doubIes sideIine

to doubIes sideIine in three strides,
38
00:02:08,337 --> 00:02:10,505

We're caIIing it the Serena SIam.
73
00:03:37,843 --> 00:03:41,721

magnetic, athIetic goddesses,
75

MALE COMMENTATOR:
She's in trouble.
166
00:08:06,278 --> 00:08:08,445
VENUS: The pain I was in
was an impossible pain,
167
00:08:09,447 --> 00:08:13,284
so it was something that is--
you know, you don't pIay through.
168
00:08:13,451 --> 00:08:14,910
MALE COMMENTATOR: That's it.
169
00:08:15,078 --> 00:08:16,245
That's it, I'm afraid.
170
00:08:16,413 --> 00:08:17,663
[crowd booing]
171
00:08:17,831 --> 00:08:21,292
The crowd feeI a IittIe cheated,
l guess, sadly.
172
00:08:21,459 --> 00:08:22,877
Right now she in there pissed.
173
00:08:23,044 --> 00:08:24,170
I mean, she's probabIy saying,
174
00:08:24,337 --> 00:08:26,088
"Now, what kind
of reaction was that?"
175
00:08:26,256 --> 00:08:27,756
VENUS: I'm gonna fight.
176
00:08:27,924 --> 00:08:30,718
Been fighting for a Iong time,
so I can fight Ionger.

[distant siren]
178
00:08:41,229 --> 00:08:43,731
MALE REPORTER: Now we want
to introduce you to a proud father,
179
00:08:43,899 --> 00:08:46,275
a man who is pushing
his daughter, Venus WiIIiams,
180
00:08:46,443 --> 00:08:48,110
to be the best in the worId.
181
00:08:48,278 --> 00:08:49,778
Good racket speed.
182
00:08:49,946 --> 00:08:51,071
Good racket speed, Venus.
183
00:08:51,239 --> 00:08:52,406
Speed that racket head up.
184
00:08:53,241 --> 00:08:55,284
Richard Williams,
he supposedIy bought a book
185
00:08:55,452 --> 00:08:57,620
or some DVD or something
and sort of said,
186
00:08:57,787 --> 00:08:59,496
"I'm gonna teach these kids
how to play tennis,"
187
00:08:59,664 --> 00:09:02,499
in some reaIIy
tough part of Los AngeIes.
188

d Straight outta Compton d
189
00:09:04,669 --> 00:09:08,964
ISHA: We grew up on Stockton Street,
Compton, California 90221 .
190
00:09:09,132 --> 00:09:11,175
That's where we grew up.
And I'ma teII you something.
191
00:09:11,343 --> 00:09:14,261
There was nothing
remoteIy un-hood about it.
192
00:09:14,429 --> 00:09:16,680
You got to win.
No, you gonna win.
193
00:09:16,848 --> 00:09:18,265
Now, aren't you?
194
00:09:18,433 --> 00:09:20,392
- You gonna win for us?
- Mm-hmm.
195
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:22,728
Good girI.
That's aII I'm asking.
196
00:09:22,896 --> 00:09:24,480
RICHARD: How do you feeI the way
you're hitting the baII right now?
197
00:09:24,648 --> 00:09:25,940
Good, Daddy.
198
00:09:26,107 --> 00:09:27,775
How about your feet.
Your feet moving around?
199
00:09:27,943 --> 00:09:29,235
- No, Daddy.
- How about yours?
200
00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:31,654
- Yes, Daddy.
- Very good.
201
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,114
So what we want to do--
you know, don't get excited.
202
00:09:35,158 --> 00:09:36,825
This is your game.
203
00:09:36,993 --> 00:09:40,246
Richard was going around
and begging private country cIubs
204
00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:41,997
Iike Riviera Country CIub and others
205
00:09:42,165 --> 00:09:44,416
to give him their used baIIs.
206
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:46,252
And he wouId then fiII up
a shopping cart
207
00:09:46,419 --> 00:09:47,962
and an oId VoIkswagen bus.
208
00:09:48,129 --> 00:09:49,672
VENUS:
We didn't taIk on the phone.
209
00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:53,509
We didn't go to schooI parties
and all that stuff,
210
00:09:53,677 --> 00:09:55,511
but somehow I didn't feeI
like l missed out.
211
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,222
I mean, there's probabIy
a few things I wanted to go to,
212
00:09:58,390 --> 00:10:00,849
but I figured I wasn't gonna go,
so l didn't ask,
213
00:10:01,017 --> 00:10:03,686
and anyway, most of the time,
I was at practice.
214
00:10:03,853 --> 00:10:09,400
She was, l guess,
the guinea pig, in a sense.
215
00:10:09,567 --> 00:10:11,318
Venus, absoIuteIy, there was
so much pressure on her
216
00:10:11,486 --> 00:10:13,570
to become a great pIayer that,
you know,
217
00:10:13,738 --> 00:10:15,906
Richard was taIking about
it every singIe day
218
00:10:16,074 --> 00:10:18,575
to every newspaper in the country,
219
00:10:18,743 --> 00:10:20,786
you know, so she definiteIy--
220
00:10:20,954 --> 00:10:23,038
she had it the toughest.
221
00:10:23,206 --> 00:10:25,874
If you down with your feet fIat
Iike a 97-year-oId person,
222
00:10:26,042 --> 00:10:27,835
you'II never be a tennis pIayer.
223
00:10:28,003 --> 00:10:30,004
HARDY:
Richard was very, very protective,
224
00:10:30,171 --> 00:10:33,173
and he generaIIy wouId never
let anyone around the girls.
225
00:10:33,341 --> 00:10:36,218
He was extremely protective,
'cause he has seen so much.
226
00:10:38,221 --> 00:10:41,807
Richard Williams was
from Shreveport, Louisiana,
227
00:10:41,975 --> 00:10:44,268
and came from a very smaII town,
228
00:10:44,436 --> 00:10:47,438
and he was raised, you know,
by a single mother
229
00:10:47,605 --> 00:10:49,440
who instiIIed in him
some reaIIy great vaIues,
230
00:10:49,607 --> 00:10:53,485
but the things that Richard saw
transformed his thinking
231
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,779
and his outIook reaIIy on everything,
232
00:10:55,947 --> 00:10:56,989
and justifiabIy so.
233
00:10:57,157 --> 00:10:58,449
He had seen men beaten.
234
00:10:58,616 --> 00:11:01,535
He had seen, you know,
peopIe denied opportunity.
235
00:11:01,786 --> 00:11:03,787
He grew up in an era where,
you know,
236
00:11:03,955 --> 00:11:06,081
the "coIored onIy" sign was standard.
237
00:11:06,958 --> 00:11:08,584
A Iot of things went wrong here.
238
00:11:10,003 --> 00:11:14,340
Right here is where
six or seven guys heId me down
239
00:11:15,175 --> 00:11:19,345
and actuaIIy took a naiI
that goes in a cross tie
240
00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:22,348
and naiIed that sucker
right into my leg.
241
00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:24,099
The reason
they wouId do something Iike this
242
00:11:24,267 --> 00:11:28,479
is simply because
I wouIdn't caII them "mister."
243
00:11:28,646 --> 00:11:31,982
And l don't think it was fair
for me to caII no one "mister"
244
00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:34,651
that aIways caIIed me "boy"
and "nigger"
245
00:11:34,819 --> 00:11:36,779
and aIways trying to kiII me.
246

You say it so easiIy.
252
00:11:53,963 --> 00:11:55,047

256
00:12:10,188 --> 00:12:11,480
You've got to understand

with a immature 1 4-year-oId chiId.

we done toId you what's happening.

You're deaIing with a IittIe bIack kid,
and let her be a kid.
262
00:12:24,035 --> 00:12:25,661
She done answered it
with a Iot of confidence.

00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:27,413
Leave that aIone!
264

inside when you're on the court?
265
00:12:31,251 --> 00:12:33,794
- I feeI good.
- I feeI good.
266
00:12:33,962 --> 00:12:36,046
What didn't I do to try to copy
Venus when l was younger?
267
00:12:36,214 --> 00:12:39,049
I mean, her favorite coIor
was my favorite color.
268
00:12:39,217 --> 00:12:41,927
Her favorite animal
was my favorite animaI.
269
00:12:42,095 --> 00:12:44,430
She wanted to win WimbIedon.
I wanted to win WimbIedon.

FEMALE REPORTER:
She is tennis prodigy Venus WiIIiams,
271
00:12:46,599 --> 00:12:49,351
and she's also
our Sportswoman of the Week.
272
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:51,603
SERENA: It was very difficuIt being
in the shadow of Venus,
273
00:12:51,771 --> 00:12:53,063
because ever since
I can remember,
274
00:12:53,231 --> 00:12:55,941
Venus was always
in the newspapers and aIways,
275
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,317
you know, in the press.
276
00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:06,368
SERENA:
I was never supposed to be good.
277
00:13:06,536 --> 00:13:10,205
l was never the one that was
supposed to be, Iike, a great pIayer,
278
00:13:10,373 --> 00:13:13,417
but I was determined
not to become a statistic,
279
00:13:13,585 --> 00:13:16,962
so that's the onIy reason
I pIayed tennis.
280
00:13:17,130 --> 00:13:20,132
And, you know,
I was a copycat, basicaIIy.
281
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:22,676
Serena, she didn't have
that power when she first started,
282
00:13:22,844 --> 00:13:25,053
so had to try to beat you
different ways.
283
00:13:25,221 --> 00:13:26,472
She wouId hit angIes.
284
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:28,474
She was trying drop shots.
285
00:13:28,641 --> 00:13:30,184
And then once she got
her power level up,
286
00:13:30,351 --> 00:13:33,228
her serve became
as dominant as Venus's.
287

FEMALE COMMENTATOR: She hasn't

Her target, at Ieast the French Open
this coming spring.
292
00:13:50,705 --> 00:13:52,456
What if the Iayoff
extends beyond that?
293
00:13:52,624 --> 00:13:54,583
How difficuIt--
she's 29 years oId now--
294
00:13:54,751 --> 00:13:56,084
for Serena to come back.
295

SERENA:
Part of my Iung is dead to the--
296

SERENA: I just had things
keep happening to me.
299
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:07,387
After that, I had to thin my bIood
after I got out of the hospitaI.
300
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,640
The worst part is pricking.
301
00:14:09,807 --> 00:14:11,475
Like, once you get over the prick,
you're good.
302
00:14:11,643 --> 00:14:12,851
SERENA:
Every day, I had to take a shot,
303
00:14:13,019 --> 00:14:14,853
and one day,
as my Iuck wouId have it,
304
00:14:15,021 --> 00:14:17,147
I hit a bIood vesseI,
and it gave me,
305
00:14:17,315 --> 00:14:20,651
Iike, this massive Iump
on my stomach
306
00:14:20,818 --> 00:14:22,694
that wouIdn't go away,
and it got bigger and bigger,
307
00:14:22,862 --> 00:14:24,196

You take your antibiotic?
309
00:14:26,032 --> 00:14:27,407
Oh, no, I didn't take my antibiotic.
310
00:14:27,575 --> 00:14:29,451
SERENA: They had to,
Iike, surgicaIIy remove it,
311
00:14:29,619 --> 00:14:30,994
and then they had to
put a tube in me
312
00:14:31,162 --> 00:14:33,372
to keep draining it.
313
00:14:33,540 --> 00:14:35,457
Then I had that drain in me
for ten days.
314
00:14:35,625 --> 00:14:37,334
And day ten, I'd had enough.
315

l couldn't leave.
I couIdn't do anything.

I just basicaIIy was house ridden.
323
00:14:59,482 --> 00:15:01,024
And then I just got
into this karaoke thing.
324
00:15:01,192 --> 00:15:02,901
I just started singing

Iike, a rehab for me.
328
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:17,874
BOTH : d Amazing grace d
329
00:15:18,042 --> 00:15:19,501
d How sweet d
330
00:15:19,669 --> 00:15:22,504
- d How sweet d
- d The sound d
331
00:15:30,138 --> 00:15:33,307
My hip's okay.
It's been a reaI sIow process.
332
00:15:33,474 --> 00:15:35,976
RADIOLOGIST:
333
00:15:36,144 --> 00:15:38,937
VENUS: I feeI Iike I'm just trying
to get better.
334
00:15:39,105 --> 00:15:41,690
I feeI Iike I haven't
done anything in my career,
335
00:15:41,858 --> 00:15:44,067
and maybe that sounds ridicuIous,
336
00:15:44,235 --> 00:15:47,904
but I feeI Iike I have to do
so much more.
337
00:15:48,072 --> 00:15:50,699
I'm tired. It's hard today.
338
00:15:50,867 --> 00:15:54,119
There's not a sport that tears
your body up worse than tennis.
339
00:15:54,287 --> 00:15:56,955
You have to run in tennis
the whole time.
340
00:15:57,123 --> 00:15:59,750
There's no time-outs.
One match can go on forever.
341
00:15:59,917 --> 00:16:01,877
A tennis pIayer doesn't have
a long career.
342
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,298
My wrists hurt a Iot when I do that.
343
00:16:06,466 --> 00:16:08,091
l know l complain
about a Iot of injuries,
344
00:16:08,259 --> 00:16:11,595
but my shouIder hurts a IittIe bit.
[laughs]
345
00:16:11,763 --> 00:16:12,763
So I can't.
346
00:16:12,930 --> 00:16:15,098
Can't wait to get stronger.
347
00:16:15,266 --> 00:16:16,808
You're doing good.
348
00:16:17,852 --> 00:16:19,770
You know, l first heard
about the WiIIiams sisters,
349
00:16:19,937 --> 00:16:22,648
I was at a junior tournament,
the Easter Bowl,
350
00:16:22,815 --> 00:16:24,191
and I was there
with a bunch of kids,
351
00:16:24,359 --> 00:16:26,818
and an agent came up to me,
believe it or not,
352
00:16:26,986 --> 00:16:29,946
and said,
"There's a girI from CaIifornia."
353
00:16:30,114 --> 00:16:31,740
Name was Venus WiIIiams.
354
00:16:31,908 --> 00:16:35,744
l'd written a plan
before they was born.
355
00:16:36,788 --> 00:16:38,246
78 pages.
356
00:16:39,123 --> 00:16:43,335
And the pIan was for Venus
to be a champion.
357
00:16:43,503 --> 00:16:46,129
Richard Williams, l think
he caIIed me one day and said,
358
00:16:46,297 --> 00:16:48,757
"l'd like for you to take
a Iook at my daughters."
359
00:16:48,925 --> 00:16:52,177
l said, "Well, hey, if they're
ever in FIorida, give me a caII."
360
00:16:52,345 --> 00:16:53,845
'Cause I've never reaIIy
jumped on a pIane
361
00:16:54,013 --> 00:16:56,556
to go Iook at someone.
362
00:16:56,724 --> 00:16:58,183
I said, "This guy's kind of crazy.
363
00:16:58,351 --> 00:16:59,643
"This couId be interesting,"
364
00:16:59,811 --> 00:17:02,437
so I decided to go out there
one weekend.
365
00:17:02,605 --> 00:17:04,356
So we go on the courts,
and they're aII beat up,
366
00:17:04,524 --> 00:17:06,608
and there's broken gIass
everywhere.
367
00:17:06,776 --> 00:17:09,111
They start hitting baIIs
after about ten minutes.
368
00:17:09,278 --> 00:17:13,824
And l say it's a waste
of my time simpIy because,
369
00:17:13,991 --> 00:17:15,492
you know, I got the best kids
in the country.
370
00:17:15,660 --> 00:17:19,663
l just had Jennifer Capriati,
who'd just turned pro at 1 4 years oId.
371
00:17:19,831 --> 00:17:22,791
So I got a reaI good bIueprint
of what greatness is.
372
00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:27,337
And then Venus goes,
"Daddy, can I go to the bathroom?"
373
00:17:27,505 --> 00:17:29,256
and so she goes out the gate,
374
00:17:29,424 --> 00:17:32,634
and for the first ten feet,
she waIked on her hands.
375
00:17:33,886 --> 00:17:35,387
And then she went
into a backward cartwheeI
376
00:17:35,555 --> 00:17:36,596
for the next ten,
377
00:17:36,764 --> 00:17:38,932
and I went up to Richard,
and I said, "You know what?
378
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:43,729
"lf they get strokes, l think you got
the next MichaeI Jordan on your hand,"
379
00:17:43,896 --> 00:17:47,357
and he goes, "No, brother man,
I got the next two."
380
00:17:48,526 --> 00:17:50,110
We'd Iike to thank Mr. Rick Macci,
381
00:17:50,278 --> 00:17:52,571
Venus' coach, for being here aIso.
382
00:17:52,739 --> 00:17:54,948
Y'aII have been very demanding,
and we really appreciate that.
383
00:17:55,116 --> 00:17:56,450
MACCI : I funded the project.
384
00:17:56,617 --> 00:17:58,660
I moved the whoIe famiIy
from California.
385
00:17:58,828 --> 00:18:00,328
I put Richard on the payroII,
386
00:18:00,496 --> 00:18:03,331
'cause he left
his security business in CaIifornia.
387
00:18:03,499 --> 00:18:08,879
All that was done
in that age 1 0 to 1 4 timeframe,
388
00:18:09,046 --> 00:18:10,839
the foundation was Iaid.
389
00:18:11,007 --> 00:18:13,467
If you see him go Iike this
on his backswing, get in.
390
00:18:13,634 --> 00:18:15,218
Save--I got a Ietter
from Richard WiIIiams,
391
00:18:15,386 --> 00:18:17,763
and reaIIy, what it says
without going through everything,
392
00:18:17,930 --> 00:18:19,556
it just says,
"You're a great coach.
393
00:18:19,724 --> 00:18:21,349
"You're gonna
get so many bonuses,
394
00:18:21,517 --> 00:18:24,227
"and you'll always be
my daughters' coach forever."
395
00:18:24,395 --> 00:18:25,645
MALE STADIUM ANNOUNCER:
Our first player this evening
396
00:18:25,813 --> 00:18:27,898
was born in Lynwood, CaIifornia.
397
00:18:28,065 --> 00:18:32,736
PIease give a warm Bay Area weIcome
to Venus WiIIiams.
398
00:18:32,904 --> 00:18:35,405
[cheers and appIause]
399
00:18:38,034 --> 00:18:40,285
MALE REPORTER:
Richard, are you nervous?
400
00:18:40,453 --> 00:18:42,078
Yes, somewhat. Uh-huh.
401
00:18:42,246 --> 00:18:44,998
MALE REPORTER: What do you think
tonight is gonna be like?
402
00:18:45,166 --> 00:18:49,920
l think that tonight will be
a very different night for us,
403
00:18:50,087 --> 00:18:51,838
most unusual,
and one that we have pIanned for
404
00:18:52,006 --> 00:18:54,841
for a Iong time, and now it's here.
405
00:18:57,595 --> 00:18:59,012
MACCI : When she went
into her first pro tournament
406
00:18:59,180 --> 00:19:00,597
in OakIand, CaIifornia...
407
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:05,852
[cheers and appIause]
408
00:19:06,938 --> 00:19:11,525
And then the firestorm media rise
just went through the roof.
409
00:19:11,692 --> 00:19:15,070
There was no doubt that this kid
wouId be number one in the worId.
410
00:19:15,238 --> 00:19:16,613
[cameras cIicking]
411
00:19:16,781 --> 00:19:18,114
I was very excited.
412
00:19:18,282 --> 00:19:20,492
You know, a IittIe nervous
in the beginning,
413
00:19:20,660 --> 00:19:22,536
but it turned out weII.
414
00:19:24,372 --> 00:19:27,374
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Venus. Venus, here.
415
00:19:27,542 --> 00:19:31,628
MACCI : When someone wins the Iottery,
$1 2 miIIion from Reebok,
416
00:19:31,796 --> 00:19:34,130
and two days later
after they got the contract,
417
00:19:34,298 --> 00:19:37,509
they moved to West PaIm Beach
and buiIt their own courts.
418
00:19:37,677 --> 00:19:39,803
And Richard kind of took over
the coaching.
419
00:19:39,971 --> 00:19:40,929
WOMAN :
And how did that feeI to you?
420
00:19:41,097 --> 00:19:42,639
That's a Ieft hook out of nowhere.
421
00:19:42,807 --> 00:19:45,141
You have to understand
a parent's position in this.
422
00:19:45,309 --> 00:19:46,852
You know, the coaches
are all over them.
423
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:49,187
They want to coach the kid,
and then later downstream,
424
00:19:49,355 --> 00:19:51,565
they might be Iooking
for their compensation.
425
00:19:51,732 --> 00:19:52,816
It's a very murky area.
426
00:19:52,984 --> 00:19:53,984
WOMAN :
Are there any coaches in your Iife
427
00:19:54,151 --> 00:19:55,235
that you want to taIk about?
428
00:19:55,403 --> 00:19:57,487
l would consider
aII my sisters my coaches.
429
00:19:57,655 --> 00:19:59,447
The foundation was Iaid
by Richard,
430
00:19:59,615 --> 00:20:02,742
and the rest of it was taken
to the mountaintop by Rick Macci.
431
00:20:02,910 --> 00:20:05,704
I worked with BiIIie Jean King
and Zina Garrison,
432
00:20:05,872 --> 00:20:07,664
so those two, I think,
have definite--
433
00:20:07,832 --> 00:20:11,293
have had infIuence
on me in my Iife and game.
434
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,628
WOMAN : Rick Macci says he spent
a lot of time with you guys.
435
00:20:13,796 --> 00:20:16,923
VENUS: We did work with Rick
for a few years,
436
00:20:17,091 --> 00:20:19,843
but l think my dad is the one
that had the most revoIutionary ideas
437
00:20:20,011 --> 00:20:22,304
in terms of changing the game.
438
00:20:22,471 --> 00:20:25,098
We worked with my dad
from conception to,
439
00:20:25,266 --> 00:20:27,225
um, untiI now.
440
00:20:27,393 --> 00:20:30,103
Richard imparted
his training methods,
441
00:20:30,271 --> 00:20:33,273
unorthodox though they were,
to the girls.
442
00:20:33,441 --> 00:20:36,234
Our dad taught us
this kind of power game.
443
00:20:36,402 --> 00:20:38,820
He said,
"Pitchers are the best arms,"
444
00:20:38,988 --> 00:20:41,114
so he made us throw footbaIIs
and basebaIIs.
445
00:20:41,282 --> 00:20:42,866
And we used
to throw our rackets.
446
00:20:43,034 --> 00:20:46,202
HARDY: Literally picking up
50, 1 00 rackets Iaying on the ground,
447
00:20:46,370 --> 00:20:48,830
and they wouId
throw the rackets forward
448
00:20:48,998 --> 00:20:52,083
so as to simulate
the forward throwing motion.
449
00:20:52,251 --> 00:20:54,461
VENUS: Sometimes we'd, Iike,
run with tires,
450
00:20:54,629 --> 00:20:57,714
or l remember he said
boxers has the best feet,
451
00:20:57,882 --> 00:21:01,468
and we needed faster feet, so--
452
00:21:01,636 --> 00:21:05,680
We even had a professionaI boxer
in a sandpit going every day.
453
00:21:05,848 --> 00:21:08,350
If they didn't move,
they wouId get popped.
454
00:21:08,517 --> 00:21:10,685
Nobody was really
hitting voIIeys out of the air,
455
00:21:10,853 --> 00:21:12,270
not on the women's tour,
456
00:21:12,438 --> 00:21:14,940
but he saw it somewhere,
took that shot, refined it.
457
00:21:15,107 --> 00:21:17,609
MACCI : They had baIIet.
458
00:21:17,777 --> 00:21:18,944
They had jazz.
459
00:21:19,111 --> 00:21:20,236
They had dance.
460
00:21:20,404 --> 00:21:21,947
They had tae kwon do.
461
00:21:22,114 --> 00:21:25,200
And he aIways wanted to make
them tougher and rougher,
462
00:21:25,368 --> 00:21:31,247
and he'd say, "Rick, l want someone
to pIay Venus today who cheats a Iot,
463
00:21:31,415 --> 00:21:32,874
"maybe a kid that doesn't Iike us."
464
00:21:33,042 --> 00:21:34,668
No other parent wouId do that.
465
00:21:34,835 --> 00:21:37,170
And this is when they were,
you know, 1 0 and 1 1 years oId.
466
00:21:38,214 --> 00:21:40,173
ORACENE:
Venus was on her dad's court.
467
00:21:40,341 --> 00:21:41,591
Serena was on mine.
468
00:21:41,759 --> 00:21:43,134
He cIaimed
he couIdn't handIe Serena.
469
00:21:43,302 --> 00:21:45,971
She crazy.
I toId her different.
470
00:21:46,138 --> 00:21:47,555
I made her beIieve in herseIf.
471
00:21:47,723 --> 00:21:50,058
I made her think
that she can get to any baII.
472
00:21:51,018 --> 00:21:53,728
SERENA: She was never puIIing
whiIe my dad was pushing,
473
00:21:53,896 --> 00:21:56,982
and I think that was
reaIIy, reaIIy important.
474
00:21:57,149 --> 00:21:58,483
And I aIso think, Iike, my dad--
475
00:21:58,651 --> 00:22:01,152
l always describe it
as my dad being the body
476
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,654
and my mom being the spine.
477
00:22:02,822 --> 00:22:05,323
Like, neither one
can exist without the other.
478
00:22:05,491 --> 00:22:08,535
I just think that the teamwork
was unbelievable.
479
00:22:14,917 --> 00:22:16,835
I just got to get ready.
l got to be fit.
480
00:22:17,003 --> 00:22:19,170
I got to--I have so many pieces
that go in the puzzle,
481
00:22:19,338 --> 00:22:22,132
and more than anything,
I have to pIay without fear.
482
00:22:22,299 --> 00:22:25,010
Right now l'm fearful
when I move or when I do this.
483
00:22:25,177 --> 00:22:28,430
lt's like, "ls this gonna break,
or is this not gonna work, or"--
484
00:22:28,597 --> 00:22:31,182
You know, it's a horribIe pIace
to be mentally,
485
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:33,852
but I have to just somehow
overcome aII that.
486
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:38,440
SASCHA BAJIN :
487
00:22:38,607 --> 00:22:40,108
So I shouId just Iive in the gym.
488
00:22:40,276 --> 00:22:43,862
The first three, four days,
just stand and work on the rhythm,
489
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:46,489
work on your strokes,
work on your technique.
490
00:22:46,657 --> 00:22:48,742
Gaining a IittIe confidence
with your foot,
491
00:22:48,909 --> 00:22:50,994
with your toe, with the movement.
492
00:22:51,162 --> 00:22:53,204
I just want to pIay, you know?
493
00:22:53,372 --> 00:22:56,332
Like, I'm going crazy
that I can't pIay.
494
00:22:57,334 --> 00:23:00,003
I'm never gonna, Iike,
retire unIess I have to.
495
00:23:00,171 --> 00:23:02,338
BAJIN : I don't know. [Iaughs]
496
00:23:03,924 --> 00:23:06,468
AIso, Iike, I can't think Iike that.
497
00:23:09,096 --> 00:23:11,639
l just--
so I don't know, Iike--
498
00:23:12,683 --> 00:23:14,559
You just worry too much.
499
00:23:14,727 --> 00:23:15,769
SERENA: I know. My mind--
500
00:23:15,936 --> 00:23:17,395
You reaIIy just worry too much.
501
00:23:17,563 --> 00:23:19,898
SERENA: There are, Iike, IittIe peopIe
in there going crazy.
502
00:23:21,150 --> 00:23:22,442
BAJlN :
You have too many peopIe teIIing you
503
00:23:22,610 --> 00:23:23,943
too many different things.
504
00:23:24,987 --> 00:23:28,865
But, like, l feel like
if I couId just fix my mentaI--
505
00:23:29,033 --> 00:23:31,785
[grunting]
506
00:23:31,952 --> 00:23:33,745
I couId--I'II be fine.
507
00:23:33,913 --> 00:23:36,706
Oh. Oh, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
508
00:23:37,583 --> 00:23:38,458
BAJIN : One more.
509
00:23:38,626 --> 00:23:40,168
SERENA: [wincing]
510
00:23:40,336 --> 00:23:42,921
I think I'd Iike to start the famiIy meeting
out with the positives.
511
00:23:43,089 --> 00:23:46,091
First of aII, I want
to taIk about the great things
512
00:23:46,258 --> 00:23:47,217
I have been doing.
513
00:23:47,384 --> 00:23:49,010
[Iaughs]
514
00:23:49,178 --> 00:23:51,179
When they're in FIorida,
they live together.
515
00:23:51,347 --> 00:23:52,972
They practice together.
516
00:23:53,140 --> 00:23:54,599
They're doing the same thing.
517
00:23:54,767 --> 00:23:56,059
They have the same goaI.
518
00:23:56,227 --> 00:23:59,187
Serena, thank you
for paying haIf the rent
519
00:23:59,355 --> 00:24:03,066
and keeping this estabIishment
the fine pIace that it is.
520
00:24:03,234 --> 00:24:04,818
BlLLlE JEAN KlNG:
AdorabIe thing happened at Fed Cup.
521
00:24:04,985 --> 00:24:08,363
They came in,
and there was a big chair,
522
00:24:08,531 --> 00:24:09,697
and that was
the onIy pIace they couId reaIIy sit.
523
00:24:09,865 --> 00:24:11,282
There was--I thought,
524
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:13,159
"Oh, we have to get
another chair or something."
525
00:24:13,327 --> 00:24:14,494
They said,
"No, we can sit here."
526
00:24:15,454 --> 00:24:18,498
They were trying to scoot
in this chair together,
527
00:24:18,666 --> 00:24:20,041
and their hips are touching,
528
00:24:20,918 --> 00:24:23,378
and I am cracking up
because I thought that what
529
00:24:23,546 --> 00:24:26,840
it was telling me
how cIose they truIy are connected.
530
00:24:27,007 --> 00:24:28,716
- VENUS: Get her in troubIe.
- [Iaughs]
531
00:24:29,969 --> 00:24:31,928
ASSlSTANT:
This is the L5-S1 treatment.
532
00:24:32,096 --> 00:24:34,139
THERAPIST: You're gonna be over here.
You got to treat her, Serena.
533
00:24:34,306 --> 00:24:35,849
[both giggIing]
534
00:24:36,016 --> 00:24:38,893
- SERENA: ReIax.
- VENUS: No.
535
00:24:39,061 --> 00:24:40,061
SERENA: I'm so hungry.
536
00:24:40,229 --> 00:24:41,980
- You have fish here?
- Yes.
537
00:24:42,148 --> 00:24:43,273
SERENA: Is it in the freezer?
538
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,607
VENUS: Fridge.
539
00:24:44,775 --> 00:24:45,733
- Hmm?
- Refrigerator.
540
00:24:45,901 --> 00:24:47,360
Oh, it's in the refrigerator?
541
00:24:47,528 --> 00:24:49,404
Oh, my gosh.
I'm gonna cook some fish.
542
00:24:49,572 --> 00:24:50,822
It's so ridicuIous.
543
00:24:50,990 --> 00:24:53,825
Serena wiII caII Venus her husband
or her wife or whatever.
544
00:24:53,993 --> 00:24:55,660
"That's my wife.
Oh, yeah, that's my wife."
545
00:24:55,828 --> 00:24:58,371
She'II come home and be Iike,
"I got to cook, 'cause, you know"...
546
00:24:58,539 --> 00:25:00,290
[Iaughs]
547
00:25:00,457 --> 00:25:01,916
There's not a Iot of it, huh?
548
00:25:02,084 --> 00:25:03,585
Oh, it's a fiIIet.
549
00:25:04,587 --> 00:25:09,632
lSHA: l think it'll be difficult
if and when that time comes.
550
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:10,967
You know, if they get married,
551
00:25:11,135 --> 00:25:14,179
um, and have to have famiIies
of their own and--
552
00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:15,930
Venus was Iike,
"I'm never moving."
553
00:25:16,098 --> 00:25:18,725
and Serena was Iike, "WeII, if you're
not moving, I'm not moving."
554
00:25:18,893 --> 00:25:22,312
I know they're not twins,
but in a way, they are.
555
00:25:22,479 --> 00:25:23,813
And their whoIe Iife experience
556
00:25:23,981 --> 00:25:26,357
has been within the shadow
of the other person.
557
00:25:26,525 --> 00:25:27,984
There's very IittIe that's happened
558
00:25:28,152 --> 00:25:30,278
to any one of them that
the other has not been privy to,
559
00:25:30,446 --> 00:25:32,280
maybe even an eyewitness to.
560
00:25:33,199 --> 00:25:35,283
And so if you try to marry
into that arrangement,
561
00:25:35,451 --> 00:25:38,244
it wouId be a very unique arrangement
to say the Ieast.
562
00:25:38,412 --> 00:25:41,456
They would have
to be two brothers.
563
00:25:41,624 --> 00:25:43,041
SERENA:
564
00:25:43,209 --> 00:25:44,375
Yeah?
565
00:25:47,630 --> 00:25:50,632
[both Iaughing]
566
00:26:07,858 --> 00:26:09,484
l think they were
teenagers when we--
567
00:26:09,652 --> 00:26:11,277
'98, they must have been teenagers.
568
00:26:11,445 --> 00:26:14,948
We sent Annie Leibovitz
down to FIorida and photographed them
569
00:26:15,115 --> 00:26:17,825
in CaroIina Herrera baII gowns.
570
00:26:18,702 --> 00:26:21,746
MACCI : Each week,
I'd be getting caIIs gIobaIIy.
571
00:26:21,914 --> 00:26:23,915
[speaking French]
572
00:26:26,293 --> 00:26:29,337
MACCl:
From TV, print, radio, Japan,
573
00:26:29,505 --> 00:26:33,466
China, NetherIands, Sweden,
HoIIand, Great Britain.
574
00:26:33,634 --> 00:26:35,969
I mean, it just went on
and on and on.
575
00:26:36,136 --> 00:26:40,932
Besides every major periodicaI,
every one, in the United States,
576
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:43,685
magazine or print, wouId caII.
577
00:26:43,852 --> 00:26:45,853
KATIE COURIC: Tennis megastar
Venus Williams is capping off
578
00:26:46,021 --> 00:26:48,022
an incredibIe year
with a huge endorsement deaI,
579
00:26:48,190 --> 00:26:49,816
the biggest ever
for a femaIe athIete.
580
00:26:49,984 --> 00:26:53,319
This is a big deal
in more ways than one.
581
00:26:53,487 --> 00:26:55,196
- FinanciaIIy, it's an important step
- Mm-hm.
582
00:26:55,281 --> 00:26:56,948
for African-Americans.
583
00:26:57,116 --> 00:26:59,742
It's an incredibIy important step
for female athletes.
584
00:26:59,910 --> 00:27:03,329
Here's a kid, $1 2 miIIion contract.
585
00:27:03,497 --> 00:27:04,539
She hadn't even pIayed that much,
586
00:27:04,707 --> 00:27:06,666
and she has a kid sister.
587
00:27:06,834 --> 00:27:10,837
You know, she's waIking around
like maybe she owns the world,
588
00:27:11,005 --> 00:27:12,672
but she's not acting Iike that.
589
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,676
The worId's coming after her,
and there's a lot of jealousy.
590
00:27:16,844 --> 00:27:18,761
There's a Iot of resentment
for all these reasons.
591
00:27:18,929 --> 00:27:21,556
And there's
an intimidation factor.
592
00:27:21,724 --> 00:27:22,765
When we first came out,
593
00:27:22,933 --> 00:27:26,227
I think that Serena and I were
criticized a Iot more than,
594
00:27:26,395 --> 00:27:28,104
you know,
some of our counterparts
595
00:27:28,272 --> 00:27:29,856
who weren't African-American.
596
00:27:30,024 --> 00:27:31,691
There's been so much divisiveness
597
00:27:31,859 --> 00:27:34,068
about Venus WiIIiams
on and off the court.
598
00:27:34,236 --> 00:27:36,154
The fact that she and her mom
and sister
599
00:27:36,322 --> 00:27:38,406
stay in such a tight IittIe knot
600
00:27:38,574 --> 00:27:41,117
away from the rest of the pIayers
in the Iocker room.
601
00:27:41,285 --> 00:27:44,495
ORACENE: And I wanted them
to be women of coIor
602
00:27:44,663 --> 00:27:45,997
and be proud of who they are
603
00:27:46,165 --> 00:27:48,958
and not Iet anyone
make them ashamed of it,
604
00:27:49,126 --> 00:27:53,129
and that was the main purpose
of the beads,
605
00:27:53,297 --> 00:27:56,049
'cause it shows their heritage
and where they come from.
606
00:27:56,216 --> 00:27:58,092
And she was just
a IittIe bit cocky, you know, and--
607
00:27:58,260 --> 00:27:59,719
Iike she's the best in the worId.
608
00:27:59,887 --> 00:28:00,887
They aIways have a big mouth.
609
00:28:01,055 --> 00:28:03,306
They aIways taIk a Iot, so--
610
00:28:03,474 --> 00:28:05,808
It happened before.
It's gonna happen again.
611
00:28:05,976 --> 00:28:08,644
MACCI : It was a heated match
against Venus and SpirIea.
612
00:28:08,812 --> 00:28:12,440
MALE COMMENTATOR: Watch this.
As they reach the chair area,
613
00:28:12,608 --> 00:28:16,361
watch SpirIea
kind of whistIing aIong there,
614
00:28:16,528 --> 00:28:19,822
and it looks as though
she deIiberateIy coIIided
615
00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:22,283
with her opponent Venus WiIIiams.
616
00:28:22,451 --> 00:28:24,160
MACCI : SpirIea's in her chair,
and she's Iooking up at her coach,
617
00:28:24,328 --> 00:28:26,454
and she was Iike, you know,
laughing about it,
618
00:28:26,622 --> 00:28:28,122
because she knew
she had moved purposeIy
619
00:28:28,290 --> 00:28:29,957
in front of Venus to bump her.
620
00:28:30,125 --> 00:28:32,377
She thinks she's
the [bIeep] Venus WiIIiams and that's it.
621
00:28:32,544 --> 00:28:33,711
She's not gonna tour. No.
622
00:28:33,879 --> 00:28:38,716
l'm sorry she feels that way,
but it's not reaIIy a big thing to me.
623
00:28:41,011 --> 00:28:42,720
FEMALE COMMENTATOR:
WiII Venus be ready in time
624
00:28:42,888 --> 00:28:45,765
for this month's French Open
or June's WimbIedon?
625
00:28:45,933 --> 00:28:47,392
WiIIiams is recovering,
626
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:50,061
but the winner
of 21 Grand SIam titIes
627
00:28:50,229 --> 00:28:54,107
and three OIympic medaIs
is far from retiring.
628
00:28:55,651 --> 00:28:57,276
VENUS: Mentally,
I'm ready to pIay the matches
629
00:28:57,444 --> 00:29:00,154
because just haven't pIayed in so Iong.
630
00:29:01,740 --> 00:29:03,199
I had a good caII with my doctor.
631
00:29:03,367 --> 00:29:07,995
Um, and he was surprised
at how much I was training.
632
00:29:08,163 --> 00:29:10,665
And he's Iike, "Oh, jeez.
Five days a week?"
633
00:29:10,833 --> 00:29:12,208
I said, "I'm running. I'm doing this.
634
00:29:12,376 --> 00:29:16,045
"I can hoId my own Iegs up now."
635
00:29:16,213 --> 00:29:18,548
I'm a professionaI athIete again.
[Iaughs]
636
00:29:18,715 --> 00:29:19,799
Two.
637
00:29:20,801 --> 00:29:22,176
Three.
638
00:29:22,344 --> 00:29:24,512
Right now, mentaIIy I'm there.
639
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,806
MentaIIy, 200% .
640
00:29:26,974 --> 00:29:29,434
And I think that's aII that matters.
641
00:29:29,601 --> 00:29:31,936
I don't know physicaIIy
a percentage,
642
00:29:32,104 --> 00:29:34,772
but I know mentaIIy, I'm there.
643
00:29:36,942 --> 00:29:39,694
Hi, Vicky.
It's Esther with Serena WiIIiams.
644
00:29:39,862 --> 00:29:41,446
Is Dr. Drazen avaiIabIe?
645
00:29:41,613 --> 00:29:43,698
- Hello?
- Hi, Dr. Drazen.
646
00:29:43,866 --> 00:29:45,783
- lt's Serena and Esther.
- How are you guys doing?
647
00:29:45,951 --> 00:29:47,952
DOCTOR:
Fantastic, fantastic news.
648
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,831
Your chest CT scan
shows absoIuteIy nothing.
649
00:29:51,999 --> 00:29:54,834
I am hereby
officiaIIy certifying you off Coumadin.
650
00:29:55,002 --> 00:29:57,503
- ESTHER: Wow.
- Oh, thank God.
651
00:29:57,671 --> 00:29:59,088
ESTHER: Congrats.
652
00:29:59,256 --> 00:30:00,381
DOCTOR: AII right, which means
that you stiII have
653
00:30:00,549 --> 00:30:01,632

a inner-city CindereIIa story,

"I got to go for it."

00:37:54,230 --> 00:37:56,607
That "one" is annoying
821
00:37:56,775 --> 00:37:58,067
to them and to me,
822
00:37:58,234 --> 00:37:59,777
and I have no idea what it is.
823
00:37:59,945 --> 00:38:00,861
I don't even think they do.
824
00:38:01,029 --> 00:38:02,655
MAN : And what about
when you say "one" and "two"?
825
00:38:03,782 --> 00:38:05,491
WeII, we don't want
to put that on tape right now,
826
00:38:05,659 --> 00:38:07,534
but they know what it mean.
827
00:38:07,702 --> 00:38:08,786
[Iaughs]
828
00:38:08,954 --> 00:38:10,120
Guy pretty sharp, huh?
829
00:38:10,997 --> 00:38:13,999
Oh, I hate when my dad
says that so much.
830
00:38:14,167 --> 00:38:15,501
That means--I don't know.
831
00:38:15,669 --> 00:38:17,336
It means that I didn't Iook at the baII,
832
00:38:17,504 --> 00:38:20,589
and I Iet him say it
'cause it's, Iike, his thing,
833
00:38:20,757 --> 00:38:23,384
but he's, Iike, so frustrating.
834
00:38:23,551 --> 00:38:24,843
With my dad, I'm kind of,
835
00:38:25,011 --> 00:38:26,887
Iike, having an argument
in my head with him.
836
00:38:27,055 --> 00:38:28,347
Sometimes I find it distracting.
837
00:38:28,515 --> 00:38:30,182
RICHARD:
838
00:38:33,645 --> 00:38:35,479
More on the outside.
839
00:38:35,647 --> 00:38:36,981
You got your shot. Make it.
840
00:38:37,148 --> 00:38:38,190
There you go. Damn it.
841
00:38:38,358 --> 00:38:39,483
[grunts]
842
00:38:39,651 --> 00:38:41,485
EIbow up a IittIe higher, Venus.
843
00:38:41,653 --> 00:38:44,321
Step forward. Catch it earIy.
844
00:38:44,489 --> 00:38:49,702
[grunts]
845
00:38:49,869 --> 00:38:53,622
Keep in mind, if the eIbow is up,
every baII gonna go over the net.
846
00:38:53,790 --> 00:38:54,915
Every baII gonna go over.
847
00:38:55,083 --> 00:38:58,544
ORACENE: I hate that too
because it doesn't make sense,
848
00:38:58,712 --> 00:39:01,005
'cause it's not "eIbows up."
849
00:39:01,172 --> 00:39:02,464
You know,
you have to swing through.
850
00:39:02,632 --> 00:39:04,591
RICHARD: That's the way.
Turn the shouIder. ShouIder.
851
00:39:04,759 --> 00:39:08,762
Serena, some kind of a way,
you got to move up to the baII.
852
00:39:08,930 --> 00:39:11,473
WOMAN : Do you have anything to say
about Lakeisha, Mr. Williams'...
853
00:39:11,641 --> 00:39:12,850
- ORACENE: No.
- current wife?
854
00:39:13,018 --> 00:39:15,436
No. I don't know anything about her.
855
00:39:15,603 --> 00:39:16,687
More power to her.
856
00:39:16,855 --> 00:39:20,024
[Iaughs]
857
00:39:20,191 --> 00:39:24,528
OnIy advice is--The onIy advice
l could say is run.
858
00:39:25,989 --> 00:39:28,907
- [laughing]
- Do not pass "Go," do not coIIect $200.
859
00:39:29,951 --> 00:39:32,453
l mean, who could
stay married to Richard?
860
00:39:32,620 --> 00:39:35,080
l love him,
but if I was a woman,
861
00:39:35,248 --> 00:39:37,958
I'd divorce him after I say heIIo.
862
00:39:39,252 --> 00:39:42,838
l don't think he's,
Iike, a one-woman man.
863
00:39:43,006 --> 00:39:44,548
He's a Iadies' man.
864
00:39:44,716 --> 00:39:46,050
ORACENE:
I just had enough.
865
00:39:46,217 --> 00:39:48,635
Let's just say it was enough,
and, you know,
866
00:39:48,803 --> 00:39:51,889
l put up with a lot of stuff
for a Iong time for the kids,
867
00:39:52,057 --> 00:39:54,016
and l wasn't
gonna do it anymore.
868
00:39:54,184 --> 00:39:57,102
When my parents divorced,
I thought it was for the best.
869
00:39:57,270 --> 00:39:59,354
I think it was best for them
to go their separate ways.
870
00:39:59,522 --> 00:40:04,234
Yeah, my dad has five
other oIder kids, girIs and boys.
871
00:40:04,402 --> 00:40:05,235
Hey, how are you?
872
00:40:05,403 --> 00:40:08,447
We met them.
I probabIy was, Iike, 1 1 or 1 2.
873
00:40:09,532 --> 00:40:11,366
It was a shock to my mom, I'm sure.
874
00:40:11,534 --> 00:40:13,911
I beIieve she was meeting them
for the first time,
875
00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:16,997
but l never asked her
how she feIt about that.
876
00:40:17,165 --> 00:40:18,582
WOMAN :
So did the girIs grow up knowing--
877
00:40:18,750 --> 00:40:19,833
No. They didn't know.
878
00:40:20,001 --> 00:40:21,001
- That other famiIy?
- No.
879
00:40:21,169 --> 00:40:22,127
Why was that?
880
00:40:22,295 --> 00:40:23,796
Just didn't, you know?
881
00:40:23,963 --> 00:40:25,464
I mean, come on.
882
00:40:32,138 --> 00:40:34,765
WOMAN : Who's the son
that spends a Iot of time
883
00:40:34,933 --> 00:40:36,308
with your father now?
884
00:40:36,476 --> 00:40:38,185
That guy that was on the court?
885
00:40:38,353 --> 00:40:40,062
I don't know who that was.
886
00:40:40,230 --> 00:40:42,064
WOMAN :
He says he's Richard's son.
887
00:40:42,232 --> 00:40:43,649
I know. I heard him saying "Dad."
888
00:40:43,817 --> 00:40:45,943
I'm thinking--
I was gonna ask my dad.
889
00:40:46,111 --> 00:40:48,112
I was Iike,
"Why is he caIIing you"--
890
00:40:48,279 --> 00:40:52,366
I got frustrated, and I Ieft today,
though, but he was Iike--
891
00:40:52,534 --> 00:40:53,408
I don't know.
892
00:40:53,576 --> 00:40:56,161
I was Iike, "Why is this guy
calling him 'Dad'?"
893
00:40:56,329 --> 00:40:57,579
I have no idea who that guy was.
894
00:40:57,747 --> 00:40:59,248
I'ma ask my dad, though.
895
00:40:59,415 --> 00:41:00,999
WOMAN : How many sibIings
from your father's side
896
00:41:01,167 --> 00:41:02,751
of the famiIy do you have?
897
00:41:02,919 --> 00:41:04,378
[chuckIes]
898
00:41:04,546 --> 00:41:06,421
This is so bad.
899
00:41:06,589 --> 00:41:08,132
Um...there's Richard.
900
00:41:08,299 --> 00:41:11,051
There's Ronner. There's ReIis.
There's Renika.
901
00:41:11,219 --> 00:41:13,262
And they are aII Rs.
902
00:41:13,429 --> 00:41:16,723
And, oh, God.
903
00:41:16,891 --> 00:41:20,144
I don't know. I don't reaIIy keep
in touch with that side.
904
00:41:21,980 --> 00:41:24,815
Growing up in the WiIIiams famiIy,
it was five girls.
905
00:41:24,983 --> 00:41:27,818
It was IiteraIIy Iike--
906
00:41:27,986 --> 00:41:29,695
I mean,
obviousIy, it was a sisterhood,
907
00:41:29,863 --> 00:41:31,697
but it was a reaI friendship.
908
00:41:31,865 --> 00:41:34,616
The difference between Tunde,
who's the oIdest,
909
00:41:34,784 --> 00:41:37,244
and Serena, who's the youngest
is eight years.
910
00:41:37,412 --> 00:41:38,620
WOMAN : The three oIdest,
911
00:41:38,788 --> 00:41:40,330
you're haIf-sisters
to Venus and Serena?
912
00:41:40,498 --> 00:41:42,583
Do we have to taIk about that here?
913
00:41:42,750 --> 00:41:45,210
'Cause we don't do
the haIf-sister thing.
914
00:41:45,378 --> 00:41:47,546
We're black.
We just don't do it.
915
00:41:47,714 --> 00:41:52,968
The two girIs maintain reIationships
with both divorced parents.
916
00:41:54,220 --> 00:41:57,347
They maintain reIationships
with others in their famiIy,
917
00:41:57,515 --> 00:42:00,309
and most particuIarIy
and most uniquely,
918
00:42:00,476 --> 00:42:04,313
they maintain
a reIationship with sisters.
919
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,064
They're super sisters.
920
00:42:07,817 --> 00:42:09,943

the toughest match you've ever been in?
921
00:42:14,574 --> 00:42:15,449

923
00:42:21,331 --> 00:42:23,540
ProbabIy the one against my sister.

[Iaughs]
925
00:42:26,252 --> 00:42:28,337

What was it Iike?
926
00:42:28,504 --> 00:42:29,588
[sighs]
927
00:42:31,507 --> 00:42:33,425
HorribIe.
928
00:42:33,593 --> 00:42:35,719
She won 7-6.
929
00:42:35,887 --> 00:42:37,304
It was good that she won.
930
00:42:38,223 --> 00:42:42,601
lt was the first-ever
prime time women's finaI,
931
00:42:42,769 --> 00:42:45,270
was September 8, 2001 ,
932
00:42:45,438 --> 00:42:47,689
when it was
Venus versus Serena.
933
00:42:47,857 --> 00:42:49,483
Sister versus sister.
934
00:42:49,651 --> 00:42:55,864
The worId of tennis was ready
for a fresh breath of air.
935
00:42:56,032 --> 00:42:58,367
Men had dominated
up untiI the time
936
00:42:58,534 --> 00:43:00,494
that Venus and Serena
came on board.
937
00:43:00,662 --> 00:43:02,621
ENBERG: Enter the stadium
side by side now.
938
00:43:02,789 --> 00:43:04,998
HARDY: They actuaIIy changed
the programming Iineup
939
00:43:05,166 --> 00:43:08,001
'cause the ratings were so high
that they moved it
940
00:43:08,169 --> 00:43:11,964
from normaI daytime Saturday
to Saturday night,
941
00:43:12,131 --> 00:43:13,507
and you had the worId watching.
942
00:43:13,675 --> 00:43:14,967
So it was unbeIievabIe.
943
00:43:15,134 --> 00:43:17,219
This is a great night
for tennis in generaI,
944
00:43:17,387 --> 00:43:19,054
and I think the onIy thing
more unbeIievabIe
945
00:43:19,222 --> 00:43:20,597
than the women's pIaying
in prime time
946
00:43:20,765 --> 00:43:22,266
is the WiIIiams' story itseIf.
947
00:43:22,433 --> 00:43:28,021
lt was a very tense
and hard thing to watch.
948
00:43:28,189 --> 00:43:31,149
lt's stressful to watch them play,
because you want them both to win.
949
00:43:31,317 --> 00:43:33,235
You feeI there's a IittIe guiIt, Iike,
950
00:43:33,403 --> 00:43:36,780
"Okay, I can't cIap for Serena.
951
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,865
"I can't cIap for Venus."
952
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:44,288
CLlNTON : No one
shouId ever underestimate--
953
00:43:44,455 --> 00:43:48,959
quite apart from their race
or the way they were driven
954
00:43:49,127 --> 00:43:50,919
when they were chiIdren
and aII that--
955
00:43:51,087 --> 00:43:56,258
is just the sheer psychoIogicaI thriII
it was for people to see
956
00:43:56,426 --> 00:43:58,969
two sisters when they pIayed
against each other.
957
00:43:59,137 --> 00:44:01,138
ENBERG: Down the Iine.
958
00:44:01,306 --> 00:44:04,266
I don't think anyone couId
ever really understand,
959
00:44:04,434 --> 00:44:06,810
you know,
the IeveI of competition
960
00:44:07,770 --> 00:44:11,356
and what it feeIs Iike
to play your sibling.

Venus WiIIiams.
965
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,412
FLEMING: Who you share a house with,
who you travel with,
966
00:44:25,580 --> 00:44:26,955
who you share a trainer with.
967
00:44:27,123 --> 00:44:28,582
Obviously,
you have the same parents.
968
00:44:28,750 --> 00:44:29,875
You have the same friends.

[cheers and appIause]
970
00:44:32,754 --> 00:44:35,464
SERENA: Yeah, I get mad at Venus
when she wins against me.
971
00:44:35,631 --> 00:44:38,216
It's so stupid, though.
I hate Iosing.
972
00:44:38,384 --> 00:44:40,510
l hate losing
more than I Iike winning.
973
00:44:40,678 --> 00:44:45,390
OFFICIAL: Venus, you and your sister
have brought so much excitement
974
00:44:46,225 --> 00:44:48,810
and taIent to this game of tennis.
975
00:44:49,771 --> 00:44:51,396
CLlNTON :
They changed the face of tennis.
976
00:44:51,564 --> 00:44:55,108
They made it more interesting
to a wider swath of Americans.
977
00:44:55,276 --> 00:44:57,235
I aIways want Serena to win,
978
00:44:57,403 --> 00:45:01,073
and so it's kind of strange,
because I'm the big sister.
979
00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:02,366
I take care of Serena.
980
00:45:02,533 --> 00:45:04,951
I make sure she has everything
even if l don't have anything.

984
00:45:10,583 --> 00:45:13,168
was when they got to the finaI
of the French Open in 2002.
985
00:45:13,336 --> 00:45:16,588
As it turned out,
it was the first victory for Serena

00:45:16,756 --> 00:45:18,465
in a Grand SIam over Venus.

What a great point to end it.
988
00:45:23,679 --> 00:45:26,139
And baby sis has finaIIy won.
989
00:45:26,307 --> 00:45:27,849
MALE COMMENTATOR 2:
Where's Venus going, by the way?
990
00:45:28,017 --> 00:45:29,393
Seems to be getting a camera.
991
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:33,688
She wants something here.
It is a camera.
992
00:45:33,856 --> 00:45:35,232
FEMALE COMMENTATOR:
To take a picture of her sister.
993
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,275
MALE COMMENTATOR:
To record the moment.
994
00:45:37,443 --> 00:45:39,903
lt's possible
that at WimbIedon this year,
995
00:45:40,071 --> 00:45:43,073
she couId overtake Venus
for number one in the worId.
996
00:45:43,241 --> 00:45:44,366
KING:
I do think, subconsciousIy,
997
00:45:44,534 --> 00:45:47,577
that Venus is wiIIing
to give her the spotIight.
998
00:45:47,745 --> 00:45:50,288
l always think Venus is going,
"Serena, I know you reaIIy need this.
999
00:45:50,456 --> 00:45:51,957
"It's okay. Go for it."
1000
00:45:54,877 --> 00:45:56,711
MALE STADIUM ANNOUNCER:
Game, set, and match.
1001
00:45:56,879 --> 00:45:59,297
MALE COMMENTATOR:
And Serena WiIIiams has defended
1002
00:45:59,465 --> 00:46:00,799
her WimbIedon championship.
1003
00:46:00,967 --> 00:46:03,260
Venus is a extreme protector.
1004
00:46:03,428 --> 00:46:04,970
Serena aIways had to win,
1005
00:46:05,138 --> 00:46:07,264
or she aIways
had to be the princess.
1006
00:46:07,432 --> 00:46:10,434
Youngest chiId syndrome,
she has that reaIIy, reaIIy bad.
1007
00:46:10,601 --> 00:46:13,979
Serena got the added advantage
of being the younger sister.
1008
00:46:14,856 --> 00:46:16,356
LittIe Iess pressure.
1009
00:46:16,524 --> 00:46:17,691
I think it's been a IittIe harder
1010
00:46:17,859 --> 00:46:19,067
for Venus to have
to deal with that.
1011
00:46:19,235 --> 00:46:23,864
I wouId say out of the eight finaIs,
that Serena's won six of them.
1012
00:46:24,031 --> 00:46:25,949
I had a brother that pIayed
professional tennis,
1013
00:46:26,117 --> 00:46:29,703
and something teIIs me
that I wouIdn't be as forgiving
1014
00:46:29,871 --> 00:46:31,246
or understanding or--
1015
00:46:31,414 --> 00:46:33,415
cIapping. I see Venus cIapping.
1016
00:46:33,583 --> 00:46:36,334
I guess it's the uItimate bIood
is thicker than water.
1017
00:46:36,502 --> 00:46:38,879
l feel like l should take
Iessons from them more so
1018
00:46:39,046 --> 00:46:42,716
than me trying to expIain away
how the heII they do that.
1019
00:46:42,884 --> 00:46:44,384
At the end of the day,
it says "Williams,"
1020
00:46:44,552 --> 00:46:47,721
and if you Iose, maybe one day
someone will mistaken
1021
00:46:47,889 --> 00:46:49,556
for the other WiIIiams, whatever,
1022
00:46:49,724 --> 00:46:52,434
fiII in the bIank, "V" or "S."
1023
00:46:58,399 --> 00:47:00,066
P.A. ANNOUNCER: Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.
1024
00:47:00,234 --> 00:47:02,152
May I have your attention pIease?
1025
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,863
We wiII shortIy be opening the gates.
1026
00:47:05,781 --> 00:47:06,823
- Grunting?
- Yeah.
1027
00:47:13,748 --> 00:47:15,040
At Ieast one of your daughters
1028
00:47:15,208 --> 00:47:19,127
is one of the foremost proponents
of grunting.
1029
00:47:19,295 --> 00:47:22,506
Do you think that's
reaIIy heIping her game or not?
1030
00:47:23,674 --> 00:47:25,300
Let's see,
to grunt or not to grunt?
1031
00:47:25,468 --> 00:47:27,135
That is the question.
1032
00:47:27,303 --> 00:47:30,263
And it seems to be
aII over on the British press
1033
00:47:30,431 --> 00:47:32,057
and the British mind.
1034
00:47:32,225 --> 00:47:35,185
I beIieve in Ietting grunt
and Iet not grunt.
1035
00:47:35,353 --> 00:47:38,605
Is it something that you taIk
about a Iot with them or not?
1036
00:47:39,774 --> 00:47:41,316
WeII...
1037
00:47:41,484 --> 00:47:44,486
grunting has not been
the focus of our conversations.
1038
00:47:44,654 --> 00:47:47,155
Um, we more or Iess taIk
about technique
1039
00:47:47,323 --> 00:47:49,950
and how to move your feet
and things like that.
1040
00:47:50,117 --> 00:47:52,577
[sighs] God damn...
1041
00:47:53,454 --> 00:47:55,455

1042
00:47:56,666 --> 00:47:58,083
Can't beIieve it.

MALE COMMENTATOR:
No one knows about Serena.
1044
00:48:02,755 --> 00:48:04,923
We know
from oId it doesn't take Iong
1045
00:48:05,091 --> 00:48:08,385
before Serena comes from someone
who's out of the picture
1046
00:48:08,553 --> 00:48:13,139
into the headline story,
and that couId easiIy happen here.
1047
00:48:13,307 --> 00:48:17,018
Serena has never Iost
in the first round
1048
00:48:17,186 --> 00:48:20,313

It was a terrific third set.
1058
00:48:55,182 --> 00:48:57,183
It was a wonderfuI scrap.
1059
00:48:57,351 --> 00:48:59,936
And Aravane Rezai
shouId take so much credit
1060
00:49:00,104 --> 00:49:03,148
for what she achieved out there,
but in the end,
1061
00:49:03,316 --> 00:49:07,694
WiIIiams in the third set
bruised her badly.
1062
00:49:12,408 --> 00:49:18,079
And who wouId bet against her now
from making it three titIes in a row?
1063
00:49:30,051 --> 00:49:32,093
It's just been so hard,
and l never dreamt
1064
00:49:32,261 --> 00:49:34,346
I wouId be here right now,
you know,
1065
00:49:34,513 --> 00:49:36,931
so it's been a disaster year,
but, you know,
1066
00:49:37,099 --> 00:49:39,225
l've been praying
and, you know, have my famiIy,
1067

and, you know, I Iove tennis,
1068
00:49:41,145 --> 00:49:45,106
and to be abIe to come back
at WimbIedon is pretty awesome,
1069
00:49:45,274 --> 00:49:46,566
and I've just Iearned that,
you know,
1070
00:49:46,734 --> 00:49:48,443
you can never take
any moment for granted,
1071
00:49:48,611 --> 00:49:50,195

You Iike that song.
1087
00:50:41,706 --> 00:50:46,584
I think that the WiIIiams sisters
are artistic peopIe.
1088
00:50:47,420 --> 00:50:50,714
Any artist has to be obsessive,
1089
00:50:52,550 --> 00:50:57,595
has to have the capacity
to concentrate so exactIy
1090
00:50:57,763 --> 00:50:59,639
on what it is they wish to achieve
1091
00:50:59,807 --> 00:51:03,309
in terms of artistry
that you Iose a Iot.
1092
00:51:03,477 --> 00:51:06,438
I'm not sure that I think
l'm a perfectionist.
1093
00:51:06,605 --> 00:51:09,941
I know--I wouId say
more or Iess I am obsessive.
1094
00:51:10,109 --> 00:51:12,444
That's something I've worked on
on the court too, 'cause l'll--
1095
00:51:12,611 --> 00:51:15,655
I wouId be out there formerIy--
for two hours,
1096
00:51:15,823 --> 00:51:17,907
I couId be determined,
and I wouId practice one thing,
1097
00:51:18,075 --> 00:51:20,243
and before I know it,
my court time's done.
1098
00:51:20,411 --> 00:51:21,244
Someone eIse wouId come
and get the court,
1099
00:51:21,412 --> 00:51:22,704
and I didn't practice anything eIse.
1100
00:51:22,872 --> 00:51:23,997
You know, I hate that every time,
1101
00:51:24,165 --> 00:51:27,041
I have to bounce the baII
five times before l serve,
1102
00:51:27,209 --> 00:51:29,711
and the second serve,
I just onIy can bounce it twice.
1103
00:51:29,879 --> 00:51:31,254
You've got to be obsessive
to be a tennis player.
1104
00:51:31,422 --> 00:51:33,673
Gosh, I mean, who eIse wants
to hit 1 7 million balls
1105
00:51:33,841 --> 00:51:36,217
over the net and then go
and do it again the next day?
1106
00:51:36,385 --> 00:51:37,844
Every athlete--
MichaeI Jordan knows,
1107
00:51:38,012 --> 00:51:40,388
"Oh, I got to shoot 300 jumpers every day,
or else l'm gonna suck,"
1108
00:51:40,556 --> 00:51:43,141
and they got to hit "x" amount
of baIIs every day or,
1109
00:51:43,309 --> 00:51:45,059
"I'm going to suck.
1110
00:51:45,227 --> 00:51:48,229

one of their lives.

"I Iike being good."
1113
00:51:52,443 --> 00:51:53,818
And they Iike being good.
1114
00:51:53,986 --> 00:51:57,822

They start to get mentaI.
1120
00:52:12,755 --> 00:52:14,422
You don't see that out
of the WiIIiams sisters.
1121
00:52:14,590 --> 00:52:16,382
They just stay the course
of their matches.
1122
00:52:16,550 --> 00:52:18,968
Their mom was always talking

pIay because she was injured.

00:53:39,049 --> 00:53:42,677

that it was her.

FEMALE COMMENTATOR:
Richard WiIIiams waIked down,
1150
00:53:44,305 --> 00:53:45,597
and here's the crowd again.
1151

[crowd booing]
1152
00:53:47,641 --> 00:53:51,144
It's a Iong waIk down
to the courtside box.
1153
00:53:52,438 --> 00:53:55,940
Richard actuaIIy stopped
and Iooked at somebody and, uh...
1154
00:53:56,108 --> 00:53:57,275
it was a very tense situation.

1159
00:54:08,203 --> 00:54:09,704
MALE BRITISH COMMENTATOR:
An American crowd
1160
00:54:09,872 --> 00:54:11,748
booing an American famiIy,
1161
00:54:11,916 --> 00:54:12,916
and you have to say
1162
00:54:13,083 --> 00:54:15,251
that it does smack
of a IittIe bit of racism.
1163
00:54:15,419 --> 00:54:18,338
ISHA: When you go to your home state
where you're from,
1164
00:54:19,423 --> 00:54:21,132
coupIe hours south of Compton,
1165
00:54:22,927 --> 00:54:24,385
and you're being booed,
1166
00:54:24,553 --> 00:54:28,222
and the person that they're cheering
is this Belgian woman.
1167
00:54:28,390 --> 00:54:31,517
She pIayed the first few games,
and she was crying.
1168
00:54:31,685 --> 00:54:33,186
SERENA:
Someone caIIed me "nigger,"
1169
00:54:33,354 --> 00:54:35,521
and it was--it was intense.
1170
00:54:35,689 --> 00:54:38,066
l prayed on the sidelines,
and I puIIed myseIf together.
1171
00:54:38,233 --> 00:54:39,317
I didn't pray to win.
1172
00:54:39,485 --> 00:54:40,693
I just prayed to get through this
1173
00:54:40,861 --> 00:54:43,488
and get off this court
and just be over this aIready.
1174
00:54:43,656 --> 00:54:46,491
FLEMING: Serena got booed
from the warm-up
1175
00:54:47,368 --> 00:54:49,953
to the last point
to the trophy ceremony.
1176
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,038
WeII, she won the match
because she's a champion,
1177
00:54:52,206 --> 00:54:53,456
and she has the heart of a tiger.
1178
00:54:53,624 --> 00:54:55,500
Have you seen Rocky?
1179
00:54:55,668 --> 00:54:58,044
WeII, that's her. [Iaughs]

[cheers and appIause]
1181
00:55:06,679 --> 00:55:09,305
FLEMING: When you taIk
about Serena's speech,
1182
00:55:09,473 --> 00:55:11,641
at the end, she says, uh...
1183
00:55:11,809 --> 00:55:13,810
"You guys were pretty tough
on me today,"
1184
00:55:13,978 --> 00:55:15,019
and she goes...
1185
00:55:15,187 --> 00:55:17,313
SERENA: And I wouId Iike to thank
everyone that supported me,
1186
00:55:17,481 --> 00:55:19,732
and if you didn't,
I Iove you guys anyway.
1187
00:55:19,900 --> 00:55:20,900
Thank you.
1188
00:55:21,068 --> 00:55:22,443
[cheers and boos]
1189
00:55:22,611 --> 00:55:24,904
ISHA: She waIked off the court,
and she was like,
1190
00:55:25,072 --> 00:55:26,489
"I'm not going back next year."
1191
00:55:26,657 --> 00:55:28,491
SERENA: The tournament wiII go on
with or without me,
1192
00:55:28,659 --> 00:55:30,368
but I'm not going back.
1193
00:55:30,536 --> 00:55:32,620
I mean, honestIy, Iike,
you Iook at peopIe
1194
00:55:32,788 --> 00:55:35,957
Iike Martin Luther King
and MaIcoIm X and Rosa Parks.
1195
00:55:36,125 --> 00:55:38,501
lf they didn't believe
and stand up for what they beIieved in,
1196
00:55:38,669 --> 00:55:41,337
then we wouIdn't have the freedoms
that we experience today.
1197
00:55:41,505 --> 00:55:42,755
What I had to go through
was so smaII
1198
00:55:42,923 --> 00:55:44,340
compared
to what they had to go through,
1199
00:55:44,508 --> 00:55:46,926
and if l can't stand up
for something Iike this,
1200
00:55:47,094 --> 00:55:48,136
then who am I?
1201
00:55:48,303 --> 00:55:50,054
Like, what have they taught me
in history?
1202
00:55:51,557 --> 00:55:53,683
TALESE: And the reason
they are so special
1203
00:55:53,851 --> 00:55:55,476
is because
they are African-American.
1204
00:55:55,644 --> 00:55:58,021
They are African-American sisters,
1205
00:55:58,188 --> 00:56:00,273
who have been supreme
in this former--
1206
00:56:00,441 --> 00:56:05,278
in this sport that formerIy
was an eIitist white person's foIIy.
1207
00:56:05,446 --> 00:56:07,780
I mean, obviousIy, the fact
that they're, you know, bIack--
1208
00:56:07,948 --> 00:56:10,950
l mean, yeah, Althea Gibson
opened things up in the '50s.
1209
00:56:11,118 --> 00:56:14,245
FlLM NARRATOR: Althea Gibson
heIped to toppIe the IiIy-white tradition
1210
00:56:14,413 --> 00:56:16,456
in tennis by winning the NationaI
1211
00:56:16,623 --> 00:56:19,709
and WimbIedon championships
in 1 957 and '58.
1212
00:56:19,877 --> 00:56:21,169
McENROE:
And Arthur Ashe wasn't--
1213
00:56:21,336 --> 00:56:22,754
I mean, he paved the way in a way,
1214
00:56:22,921 --> 00:56:25,173
but he certainly
wasn't abIe to sort of get the--
1215
00:56:25,340 --> 00:56:29,761
maybe quite the same chance
as they have.
1216
00:56:29,928 --> 00:56:31,304
Being bIack gives everybody a edge,
'cause you just--
1217
00:56:31,472 --> 00:56:34,307
Everything's harder,
so it's no different
1218
00:56:34,475 --> 00:56:37,018
than a guy wearing weights
around his ankIes
1219
00:56:37,186 --> 00:56:38,811
so he couId jump higher.
1220
00:56:38,979 --> 00:56:42,023
BIack is just a weight on your skin.
1221
00:56:42,191 --> 00:56:44,358
When you reaIIy Iearn
how to maneuver it,
1222
00:56:44,526 --> 00:56:48,071
you end up doing
things faster and more intense,
1223
00:56:48,238 --> 00:56:50,156
and you appreciate things more,
1224
00:56:50,324 --> 00:56:52,575
'cause it was harder for you
to get them in the first pIace.
1225
00:56:52,743 --> 00:56:55,787
Some peopIe may think
the bIack athIete is now on a par,
1226
00:56:55,954 --> 00:56:57,622
an absolute par,
with the white athIete.
1227
00:56:57,790 --> 00:57:00,416
l don't think that is true,
and I think the WiIIiams sisters
1228
00:57:00,584 --> 00:57:05,129
have had to Iive with that fact
that the war is not over,
1229
00:57:05,297 --> 00:57:08,508
when they have performed
with extraordinary vaIor and courage
1230
00:57:08,675 --> 00:57:12,178
and skiII
under difficuIt circumstances.
1231
00:57:13,639 --> 00:57:15,306
FEMALE REPORTER:
It happened in the 1 1 00 bIock
1232
00:57:15,474 --> 00:57:17,433
of GreenIeaf BouIevard in Compton.
1233
00:57:17,601 --> 00:57:20,228
Yetunde Price, who is
the oIder sister of tennis stars
1234
00:57:20,395 --> 00:57:23,898
Venus and Serena WiIIiams,
was shot to death.
1235
00:57:37,162 --> 00:57:40,123
Um, I was in New York
at Fashion Week,
1236
00:57:40,290 --> 00:57:43,084
and, um...
1237
00:57:44,294 --> 00:57:47,839
And I remember my phone rang,
and nobody calls me at night,
1238
00:57:48,006 --> 00:57:50,049
'cause my good friends know
I Iove to sIeep.
1239
00:57:51,468 --> 00:57:53,845
And it was such terribIe news,
obviousIy.
1240
00:57:54,805 --> 00:57:56,139
SERENA:
Yetunde was my oIder sister.
1241
00:57:56,306 --> 00:57:58,391
We aIways caIIed her Tunde
for short.
1242
00:57:58,559 --> 00:58:00,768
ISHA: You know, she wouId,
you know, kind of, Iike,
1243
00:58:00,936 --> 00:58:06,107
Iook out for us and make sure
that we were taken care of.
1244
00:58:08,902 --> 00:58:10,903
She meant a Iot to me.
1245
00:58:13,866 --> 00:58:16,075
l guess that's all
I can get out right now.
1246
00:58:16,243 --> 00:58:17,660
It was their understanding
1247
00:58:17,828 --> 00:58:22,623
that it was
a mistaken identity situation,
1248
00:58:22,791 --> 00:58:26,836
meaning there was someone eIse
in a white DenaIi
1249
00:58:27,004 --> 00:58:32,258
with tinted windows
whom they were...
1250
00:58:34,303 --> 00:58:37,930
l guess rival gang--
I mean, I don't know, Iike, you know.
1251
00:58:38,098 --> 00:58:42,226
And because her car
was like this car,
1252
00:58:43,645 --> 00:58:45,396
they thought it was that person
1253
00:58:45,564 --> 00:58:48,024
riding through their neighborhood,
and how dare they?
1254
00:58:48,192 --> 00:58:50,443
So they shot the car up.
1255
00:58:50,611 --> 00:58:52,737
It's never a day
I don't think about her.
1256
00:58:53,947 --> 00:59:00,077
ISHA: Now we're...we're very cIose
with her kids.
1257
00:59:05,751 --> 00:59:11,756
My mother moved to CaIifornia
to heIp with them.
1258
00:59:11,924 --> 00:59:13,507
I can't stop
untiI I figure this out.
1259
00:59:13,675 --> 00:59:15,426
JUSTUS BOBBITT: I don't think
that my grandmother,
1260
00:59:15,594 --> 00:59:18,012
a lot of time,
knows her own vaIue
1261
00:59:18,180 --> 00:59:19,180
or her worth sometimes.
1262
00:59:19,348 --> 00:59:20,765
I don't think that she thinks
1263
00:59:20,933 --> 00:59:22,850
that she's as good
as an infIuence as she is
1264
00:59:23,018 --> 00:59:26,312
or she has as big of an impact
as she does on not onIy me,
1265
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:27,855
but holding
my whoIe famiIy together.
1266
00:59:28,023 --> 00:59:30,066

to feeI good about herseIf,
1267
00:59:31,610 --> 00:59:35,696

that she can do it and Ietting go,

'cause she Iet them go
a IittIe bit today, though.
1269
00:59:39,034 --> 00:59:40,368
JAlR:
Every time that she hit a baII
1270
00:59:40,535 --> 00:59:42,370
that wasn't exactly
how she wanted, she got upset.
1271
00:59:42,537 --> 00:59:46,374
Yeah, she got upset, but she's off.
1272
00:59:46,541 --> 00:59:49,001
Venus is too.
They both are off.
1273
00:59:49,169 --> 00:59:50,795
- True.
- I'm watching her hit.
1274
00:59:51,630 --> 00:59:53,965
They're aImost doing
the same thing.
1275
00:59:54,132 --> 00:59:55,925
Make sure that
when you're out there today,
1276
00:59:56,093 --> 00:59:58,094
you don't get so mad at her
1277
00:59:58,262 --> 01:00:01,138
that you cIoud your thinking
on the court.
1278
01:00:01,306 --> 01:00:02,848
And your feet.
1279
01:00:03,016 --> 01:00:04,558

with Iosses Iike the one today?
1290
01:00:51,898 --> 01:00:53,149
I used to get reaIIy upset.
1291
01:00:53,317 --> 01:00:55,901
Like, l wouldn't change
my cIothes for a coupIe days.
1292
01:00:57,612 --> 01:00:59,739
I didn't wear any deodorant
or anything.
1293
01:00:59,906 --> 01:01:02,992
It was pretty...pretty nasty.
1294
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:05,119
Or I'd sit on the couch
for about a week.
1295
01:01:05,287 --> 01:01:06,537
It was pretty tough.
1296

But after a whiIe, I reaIized
I hated feeIing that way,
1297

01:04:24,402 --> 01:04:26,153

I just shouId have twisted my ankIe.

FEMALE COMMENTATOR 2 :
There's a Iot of taIk about the woman
1476
01:09:08,728 --> 01:09:10,187
who's seeded 28th this year,
1477
01:09:10,355 --> 01:09:12,105
which is not a pIace
she's used to being.
1478
01:09:12,273 --> 01:09:14,399
MALE COMMENTATOR:
She had a pretty serious iIIness,
1479
01:09:14,567 --> 01:09:17,736
and she was deaIing with a possibIy
career-threatening situation.
1480
01:09:17,904 --> 01:09:18,821
MALE COMMENTATOR 2:
Life-threatening, aImost.
1481

MALE COMMENTATOR:
And life-threatening.
1482

She is now playing
with this renewed passion,
1483
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:23,951
and I think peopIe wouId
be shocked
1484
01:09:24,118 --> 01:09:27,538
if anybody but Serena's hoIding
the champion's trophy.

1489
01:09:54,482 --> 01:09:56,275
I think for every American,
1490
01:09:57,735 --> 01:09:59,444
the U.S. Open
is something speciaI,
1491
01:09:59,612 --> 01:10:00,946
a tournament in their own country,
1492
01:10:01,114 --> 01:10:02,447
and especiaIIy
this big, you know?
1493
01:10:02,615 --> 01:10:04,241
I mean, it's a home Grand SIam,
you know?
1494
01:10:04,409 --> 01:10:07,786
And it's just a different atmosphere.
It's Iike a baIIgame.
1495
01:10:08,746 --> 01:10:11,415
It's way more Ioud
than any other pIace,
1496
01:10:11,583 --> 01:10:13,625
and I think, actuaIIy,
Serena likes that.
1497
01:10:14,711 --> 01:10:16,879
It's just more energy
at the whoIe stadium.

01:16:22,286 --> 01:16:23,745
MALE REPORTER:
Serena, what do you remember most
1636
01:16:23,913 --> 01:16:27,832
from the way
your Iast U.S. Open ended?
1637
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:29,834
SERENA: Um, I don't know.
I don't think about it.
1638
01:16:30,878 --> 01:16:32,295
Are you stiII thinking about it?
1639
01:16:34,131 --> 01:16:36,132
Oh, my God,
that was, Iike, two years ago.
1640
01:16:36,300 --> 01:16:37,968
This is, Iike, two years Iater.
1641
01:16:38,135 --> 01:16:41,179
It was two years ago,
and Iast year, I didn't pIay,
1642
01:16:41,347 --> 01:16:43,515
and if anything, I thought,
"Wow, l'm back."
1643
01:16:43,683 --> 01:16:46,351
You know, I haven't pIayed
in a Iong time.
1644
01:16:46,519 --> 01:16:48,561
I'm teIIing you, out of sight,
out of mind for me.
1645
01:16:48,729 --> 01:16:50,105
You guys shouId try it.
1646
01:16:53,067 --> 01:16:54,150
Your spring--
1647
01:16:54,318 --> 01:16:55,902
So what wiII the Iine be?
1648
01:16:59,031 --> 01:17:01,950
This dress, you see the front
is very simpIe,
1649
01:17:02,952 --> 01:17:04,995
and this has,
Iike, a square neckIine,
1650
01:17:05,162 --> 01:17:06,955
so it's very fIattering.
1651
01:17:07,123 --> 01:17:09,374
Yeah, so what we did,
it was this right here.
1652
01:17:09,542 --> 01:17:11,835
WeII, I think their styIe
is very independent
1653
01:17:12,003 --> 01:17:14,254
and quite rebellious,
and they're not interested
1654
01:17:14,422 --> 01:17:15,797
in Iooking Iike anybody eIse,
1655
01:17:15,965 --> 01:17:18,717
nor do they reaIIy care
what anybody eIse thinks.
1656
01:17:18,884 --> 01:17:19,926
The biggest chaIIenge for me
1657
01:17:20,094 --> 01:17:23,305
when l play is deciding
what coIor I'm going to wear.
1658
01:17:23,472 --> 01:17:25,598
MALE COMMENTATOR:
Now, I'm no aficionado, Tracy,
1659
01:17:25,766 --> 01:17:26,766
you'II be reIieved to hear,
1660
01:17:26,934 --> 01:17:30,603
but l'm told that
that's a new range of naiI poIish,
1661
01:17:30,771 --> 01:17:35,191
and the purple is called
"Grape, Set, and Match."
1662
01:17:35,359 --> 01:17:36,651
FEMALE COMMENTATOR:
Get a look at her dress.
1663
01:17:36,819 --> 01:17:38,361
FEMALE COMMENTATOR 2:
ApparentIy caIIed the WonderIand dress,
1664
01:17:38,529 --> 01:17:40,322
inspired by Alice In Wonderland.
1665
01:17:40,489 --> 01:17:41,906
FEMALE COMMENTATOR 3:
What was worse, some say,
1666
01:17:42,074 --> 01:17:44,451
the fIesh-coIored shorts
she wore underneath,
1667
01:17:44,618 --> 01:17:47,412
and, yes, she is wearing shorts.
1668
01:17:47,580 --> 01:17:49,372
WlNTOUR:
Tennis was very conservative,
1669
01:17:49,540 --> 01:17:52,792
and I think it's thanks
to pIayers Iike Andre Agassi
1670
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:55,920
and Venus and Serena
that the whoIe Iook of tennis
1671
01:17:56,088 --> 01:17:57,422
has totaIIy changed.
1672
01:17:57,590 --> 01:18:00,342
You know, it's easy to wear
a pretty dress,
1673
01:18:00,509 --> 01:18:02,886
and they're not interested in that,
1674
01:18:03,054 --> 01:18:07,432
and that's part of who they are
and why peopIe pay attention.
1675
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:09,351
Attention has to be paid to them.
1676
01:18:14,148 --> 01:18:15,565
VENUS:
I'm going to the doctor saying,
1677
01:18:15,733 --> 01:18:17,275
"l don't feel like
I'm getting enough air,"
1678
01:18:17,443 --> 01:18:20,153
or, "I just don't have
the stamina to Iast."
1679
01:18:20,321 --> 01:18:21,821
You know, l train
the same amount or more
1680
01:18:21,989 --> 01:18:24,324
than anyone eIse
with haIf the resuIt.
1681
01:18:27,411 --> 01:18:29,287
ASSISTANT:
Um, weII, she's actuaIIy gonna
1682
01:18:29,455 --> 01:18:32,582
have a match probabIy
in two to three hours,
1683
01:18:32,750 --> 01:18:35,293
but she's saying
how she just woke up today
1684
01:18:35,461 --> 01:18:37,712
and she's feeIing reaIIy tired.
1685
01:18:39,465 --> 01:18:41,800
Is there anything
that you recommend?
1686
01:18:41,967 --> 01:18:44,719
VENUS: I was diagnosed
with Sjogren's this summer.
1687
01:18:44,887 --> 01:18:46,304
It's kind of hard to describe.
1688
01:18:46,472 --> 01:18:48,556
You know,
it's pretty much just, Iike,
1689
01:18:48,724 --> 01:18:52,143
not having any energy at aII
and feeling like you're sick,
1690
01:18:52,311 --> 01:18:54,729
but you don't have a coId or a fIu.
1691
01:18:54,897 --> 01:18:57,357
ORACENE:
1692
01:19:01,904 --> 01:19:03,655
DOCTOR: How are you?
What's happening?
1693
01:19:03,823 --> 01:19:05,115
Um...
1694
01:19:08,786 --> 01:19:10,662
- Okay.
- So, um...
1695
01:19:13,207 --> 01:19:14,582
DOCTOR: Oh, okay.
1696
01:19:14,750 --> 01:19:16,543
NURSE:
1697
01:19:19,380 --> 01:19:21,673
VENUS: Well, this summer,
I started having more issues,
1698
01:19:21,841 --> 01:19:23,842
just not feeIing good,
1699
01:19:24,009 --> 01:19:28,638
and my hand started swelling,
and I started having joint pain,
1700
01:19:28,806 --> 01:19:30,807
and I couIdn't controI my shots.
1701
01:19:30,975 --> 01:19:32,016
Like, I had no feeI Ieft.
1702
01:19:32,184 --> 01:19:34,477
Like, they were going out by feet.
1703
01:19:34,645 --> 01:19:37,313
So in a Iot of ways,
it's good that that happened, you know,
1704
01:19:37,481 --> 01:19:39,816
so that way I couId understand
what was wrong with me
1705
01:19:39,984 --> 01:19:42,318
and go on and get treatment.
1706
01:19:45,448 --> 01:19:46,823
ORACENE:
1707
01:19:55,791 --> 01:19:58,501
And you have to be patient and...
1708
01:19:59,879 --> 01:20:01,421
Iet it work.
1709
01:20:01,589 --> 01:20:02,881
You can't rush it.
1710
01:20:08,345 --> 01:20:10,513
VENUS:
1711
01:20:10,681 --> 01:20:11,723
BRIAN WILLIAMS:
Back now as promised
1712
01:20:11,891 --> 01:20:13,683
with more
on this surprising announcement
1713
01:20:13,851 --> 01:20:17,020
by Venus WiIIiams,
a tennis superstar by any measure,
1714
01:20:17,188 --> 01:20:19,355
that she is out of the game,
at least for now,
1715
01:20:19,523 --> 01:20:22,609
puIIing out of the U.S. Open
to tend to her health.
1716
01:20:22,776 --> 01:20:25,778
MALE REPORTER: Serena, can you
give us an update on your sister,
1717
01:20:25,946 --> 01:20:27,822
what she's doing now
since she's withdrawn?
1718
01:20:27,990 --> 01:20:29,491
SERENA:
She's stiII in New York,
1719
01:20:29,658 --> 01:20:32,076
and she said she was gonna
hang out for a IittIe bit.
1720
01:20:32,244 --> 01:20:33,953
WOMAN :
1721
01:20:34,121 --> 01:20:35,663
Hey, how are you?
1722
01:20:37,917 --> 01:20:38,917
VENUS:
Thank you very much.
1723
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:42,795
Thank you.
1724
01:20:42,963 --> 01:20:44,255
It's a short Iife as a tennis pIayer.
1725
01:20:44,423 --> 01:20:45,590
I mean, they're extraordinary,
1726
01:20:45,758 --> 01:20:48,259
how Iong that they've remained
on the top of the game,
1727
01:20:48,427 --> 01:20:51,888
so I think aIong the way,
you reaIIy do need to find
1728
01:20:52,056 --> 01:20:54,140
what eIse interests you,
and if it's fashion
1729
01:20:54,308 --> 01:20:57,018
or acting or working in teIevision.
1730
01:20:57,186 --> 01:20:58,228
You're supposed
to be my man, Rasheed.
1731
01:20:58,395 --> 01:21:00,313
You were supposed to be there for me.
l needed you.
1732
01:21:00,481 --> 01:21:02,732
Great, but have that baIance.
1733
01:21:02,900 --> 01:21:04,275
FEMALE REPORTER:
Now your sister has announced
1734
01:21:04,443 --> 01:21:07,111
that she's been diagnosed
with this autoimmune disorder.
1735
01:21:07,279 --> 01:21:08,696
SERENA: She's been struggIing
for a Iong time,
1736
01:21:08,864 --> 01:21:11,282
and now she can actuaIIy get better.
1737
01:21:12,451 --> 01:21:15,203
I know. I shouId probabIy go
to the gym and eat,
1738
01:21:15,371 --> 01:21:17,747
but I'm having a hard time
doing the things
1739
01:21:17,915 --> 01:21:19,832
I'm supposed to do nowadays.
1740
01:21:31,136 --> 01:21:33,263
SERENA:
I feeI Iike my serve sucks.
1741
01:21:33,430 --> 01:21:36,683
My return,
I feeI Iike I'm missing so many shots.
1742
01:21:36,850 --> 01:21:37,976
I just...
1743
01:21:38,978 --> 01:21:42,063
I mean, the onIy thing
I'm doing weII is, Iike--
1744
01:21:42,231 --> 01:21:43,773
Today I don't know.
1745
01:21:43,941 --> 01:21:45,692
But I expect so much from myseIf.
1746
01:21:46,777 --> 01:21:48,653
RICHARD: When she's practicing,
you look at her,
1747
01:21:48,821 --> 01:21:51,823
and if you didn't know her game,
you'd get disgusted.
1748
01:21:51,991 --> 01:21:55,660
But she pIay about 20 times
better than she practice.
1749
01:21:55,828 --> 01:21:59,163
FEMALE COMMENTATOR: Serena WiIIiams
is taking on Victoria Azarenka.
1750
01:21:59,331 --> 01:22:01,708
Now, it's a cIash everybody

Come on.
1754
01:22:20,853 --> 01:22:22,937
RICHARD:
Serena, end this thing.
1755
01:22:23,105 --> 01:22:24,314
VENUS:
You can do it, Serena.

[cheers and appIause]
1758
01:22:37,620 --> 01:22:40,872
ORACENE:
1759
01:22:48,380 --> 01:22:50,673
I was just hoping she can
get through this match.
1760
01:22:52,009 --> 01:22:54,010
And see it for herseIf, you know?
1761
01:22:54,178 --> 01:22:57,805
'Cause if the girI
had a IittIe bit more moxie...
1762
01:23:58,492 --> 01:23:59,575
I don't want you to sit here
1763
01:23:59,743 --> 01:24:00,910
and say I'm the onIy one
that needs improvement.
1764
01:24:01,078 --> 01:24:02,453
You need to improve too.
1765
01:24:04,373 --> 01:24:06,582
See, I know I need to improve,
1766
01:24:06,750 --> 01:24:08,876
but I'm just asking you
to do better as weII.
1767
01:24:09,044 --> 01:24:10,253
That's it.
You don't have to sit here
1768
01:24:10,421 --> 01:24:12,213
and yeII at me and be Iike,
you know...
1769
01:24:15,259 --> 01:24:16,259
What?
1770
01:24:18,011 --> 01:24:20,388
I know, but I'm being honest
with you too this time
1771
01:24:20,556 --> 01:24:21,723
and saying that I feIt
1772
01:24:21,890 --> 01:24:23,349
that I pIayed good tennis
today out there--
1773
01:24:23,517 --> 01:24:24,517
And I say you didn't.
1774
01:24:27,062 --> 01:24:29,188
And here I pIayed Iike shit.
1775
01:24:30,524 --> 01:24:32,734
I couIdn't be more upset
with how I pIayed.
1776
01:24:35,779 --> 01:24:38,239
BAJlN : l know l'm not gonna
convince Serena in that moment
1777
01:24:38,407 --> 01:24:41,451
to have her saying,
"Okay, Sascha, you're right."
1778
01:24:41,618 --> 01:24:43,327
Like, she wouId never,
ever say that.
1779
01:24:43,495 --> 01:24:47,915
l told her many times, like,
that if she has stress buiIdup,
1780
01:24:48,083 --> 01:24:51,127
you know, since I'm a guy,
I can take it.
1781
01:25:03,056 --> 01:25:04,682
SERENA:
1782
01:25:04,850 --> 01:25:05,558
ASSISTANT: Why?
1783
01:25:05,726 --> 01:25:08,853
'Cause he's--He just is.
1784
01:25:09,021 --> 01:25:10,021
BAJIN : I made a dumb joke.
1785
01:25:10,189 --> 01:25:13,566
l made a joke and said
that I asked Ana Ivanovic
1786
01:25:13,734 --> 01:25:15,943
when is she finaIIy gonna hire me,
1787
01:25:16,111 --> 01:25:17,737
and I wasn't being serious at aII.
1788
01:25:17,905 --> 01:25:20,406
You know, I mean, Serena shouId
know that I Iove her
1789
01:25:20,574 --> 01:25:22,325
and that I'm here for her.
1790
01:25:22,493 --> 01:25:24,494
SERENA:
He reaIIy hurt my feeIings today.
1791
01:25:24,661 --> 01:25:27,121
Because he taIked about
another woman?
1792
01:25:27,289 --> 01:25:32,251
No, because he toId her that--
when was she gonna hire him.
1793
01:25:32,419 --> 01:25:35,922
Like, l would never go to
another guy and say, Iike,
1794
01:25:36,089 --> 01:25:37,632
"When are you gonna
start hitting with me?"
1795
01:25:38,675 --> 01:25:40,426
Like, common sense
would tell you that,
1796
01:25:40,594 --> 01:25:42,386
"Your pIayer's

Remember, she did pIay Iate.

01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:50,848
She Iooks Iethargic so far.
1837
01:27:51,016 --> 01:27:52,475
CARILLO: See, I don't think
she looks lethargic.
1838
01:27:52,643 --> 01:27:54,352
I think she Iooks tight.
1839
01:27:54,519 --> 01:27:58,147
It's showing up in her serve,
which is usuaIIy her go-to move.
1840
01:28:02,027 --> 01:28:06,155
ENBERG: Who is this woman
masquerading as the three-time champion?
1841
01:28:07,991 --> 01:28:10,993
First time she's Iost a set
here in this championship.
1842
01:28:11,161 --> 01:28:13,162
Serena Williams
dominating her opponents,
1843
01:28:13,330 --> 01:28:17,249
and here it's Stosur in domination
with 1 1 consecutive points.
1844
01:28:22,798 --> 01:28:24,131
SERENA: Come on !
1845
01:28:25,842 --> 01:28:27,426
McENROE: They're gonna have
to play a let there.
1846
01:28:27,594 --> 01:28:30,137
ENBERG: She shouted
in the middIe of that shot.
1847
01:28:30,305 --> 01:28:31,889
The baII had not Ianded
when she was saying, "Come on."
1848

McENROE:
She shouId pIay a Iet.
1849

That is bad form.

I don't know if it's her point.

Come on, reIax, Meg.
Shake it off.
1853
01:29:12,472 --> 01:29:13,305
Shake it off.
1854
01:29:13,473 --> 01:29:15,891
McENROE: To give Stosur the point
was infuriating,
1855
01:29:16,059 --> 01:29:17,184
and I think it went too far.
1856
01:29:17,352 --> 01:29:20,146
Because of the caII, actuaIIy,
1857
01:29:20,313 --> 01:29:22,606

in Serena's favor.

PATRICK McENROE:
She makes it personaI with this umpire,
1861
01:29:34,619 --> 01:29:37,455
who, in my opinion, just did her job
and did it appropriately.
1862
01:29:37,622 --> 01:29:40,666
And what she said
on the changeover, in my mind,
1863
01:29:40,834 --> 01:29:42,168
was just totaIIy unprofessionaI
1864
01:29:42,335 --> 01:29:44,045
and reaIIy cIassIess,
to be honest.
1865
01:29:44,212 --> 01:29:46,464
I mean, I think it was stupid,
1866
01:29:46,631 --> 01:29:48,174
but I wouIdn't say
it was classless.
1867
01:30:03,023 --> 01:30:08,110
PeopIe say 1 ,000 times worse,
and they think it's cute.
1868
01:30:08,278 --> 01:30:11,322
And l say,
"You're ugIy on the inside,"
1869
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:15,242
which is the most geekish thing
anyone could possibly say.
1870
01:30:15,410 --> 01:30:16,869
If I wouId have said that
in high schooI,
1871
01:30:17,037 --> 01:30:18,704
I wouId have got beaten up.
1872
01:30:18,872 --> 01:30:21,999
So I aImost wanted to beat up
myself when l heard that.
1873
01:30:22,167 --> 01:30:24,418

something better?"

A fantastic upset.
1881

of the United States Open.

BAJIN :
1884
01:30:55,408 --> 01:30:57,952
It's hard. I mean,
I got to bed at 2:30 A.M.,
1885
01:30:58,120 --> 01:30:59,328
so she went to bed Iate.
1886
01:30:59,496 --> 01:31:01,455
She went around the same time.

It's not easy.

01:31:05,085 --> 01:31:07,503

of these IittIe aspects put together

on the court a IittIe bit today.

She was cracking 'em today.
1894
01:31:39,035 --> 01:31:42,872
She definiteIy hit hard
and just went for--
1895
01:31:43,039 --> 01:31:44,915
went for broke,
and I just probabIy shouId

you've acquired,

for both of them
