The way she talks about Venus....so beautiful
It brought tears to my eyes.
Me too very touching
All sisters should have this short relationship, no drama, love these girls, that awesome father, and mother too, just he was the one who developed their careers.
Love the bond she shares with her sister! This is the relationship siblings should have
This is one of my FAVORITE interviews with Serena. She is funny, determined, super smart, has shown growth & maturity in her life and is SO HAPPY and comfortable in her own skin. This is MORE than I can say for her "haters", who could learn a lot from her. LEARN to accept yourself; be positive and perhaps YOU TOO can experience genuine HAPPINESS. Serena is UNBOTHERED by any negativity. It's WONDERFUL!
YES!
Beautiful and Intelligent Blessings always 🙏
"if you wanna be the best... You have to emulate the best"....and therefore we have you Serena
Yeiii
She seems really happy and at the end of the day that is what matters most ...

Serena's smile is everything!
This woman has an iron vault for a mind. It's proof that GREATNESS starts in the mind.
Hibiscus Beauty Powerful quote!!
@@thomasdellarosa1960 focus she's talking about Serena...not you!
@irishdude 413 oh shut up 🤦🏽♂️
@irishdude 413 bruh stfu
Amen!
This was such a GREAT interaction between Serena and Gayle. It was like we all were a part of the conversation. Serena was so graceful and genuine and I really appreciate that. Gayle also flowed with her. Love it, ladies!
She is the GOAT!!! I love her! She is amazing! People attack her looks only because they can't attack her personality nor her game.
Good luck serina Williams God is with you Very good day.
Nailed It !!!💕💙
@@soniapinkney1342 n i.
Margaret has 64 total Grand Slams, Serena has 39 total GS's. Margaret is the GOAT. Serena is the goat, little goat.
I'm shocked how down-to-earth she is. absolutely amazed by this interview, wow. and she's damn smart!
She’s surprisingly so honest! I love it
I have so much respect for these girls parents, it wasn't easy with the racism they had to deal with and their parents were the buffers for all of the ugliness yet made it a teaching tool, and the ones that doubted their greatness are now cow towing and they just gracefully keep it moving. I wish this young lady and her family the best.

Beautiful 😍 😘
And they are still getting disrespected by stupid conspiracy theorists saying that they are transgenders.
Everytime I see her or listen to her speak in an interview It makes me wanna do everything better....Great inspiration.💪❤
She is so underrated for her historic achievements.
I swear Serena Williams is one of the greatest role models for any girl in this world. She's strong, she's beautiful, she's self-aware but also very humble. Some people say things like "The Williams sisters ruined the women tennis" and such... But no, they CHANGED THE GAME. Serena will always be a non-stop inspiration for me, not only for her accomplishments in her career but also for her sincerity in an enormous amount of charity work. I am motivated to work harder to reach my goals everyday, knowing that there's no such thing that is impossible and that nobody on Earth is allowed to set any vicious standards for my life. Thank you so much, Serena!
Perfectly articulated! #teamSerena
She my hero, for sure. Am very happy for her.x
Yeah. I fondly remember back to 2009 US Open final when she physically threatened a line judge "If I could, I would take this ... ball and shove it down your ... throat and kill you," Williams said. A great role model. Then there was the 2011 final when she heaped more abuse on umpires including saying. "Don't look at me,". "If we're ever walking down the street, stay on the other side. You're totally out of control. You're a hater and you're unattractive inside. What a loser." and that was just a fraction of her ugly verbal abuse she shouted in that final. Yep a great role model indeed.
which proves she is human - especially when under pressure
Anyone who acts like that under pressure is not a good role model at all. If that behavior was supposed to show her human side, then I suggest she do her utmost to hide her humanity for the remainder of her career and life.
I just love her. she is definitely one of my sheros. so happy for her.
Her personality is incredible,out going and respect and moral ,,❤️
She's such an amazing woman, I love the vibe I'm getting from her.
Lol
Very strong in herself, I love her and look forward to her next chapter in her life. Stay strong. God speed Serena!!
She is so amazing. I love her so much!!! Women's tennis is better because of them. Tennis will never be the same after the Williams'
Dom RA because they’re men kzhead.info/sun/o5dqkauxlpx6Zn0/bejne.html so is the entire us soccer team.
@@dav1djac0b and you are a lady
@@michaelmaps2004 you apparently have no discernment did the difference between the sexes so your ettenpt to insult is pretty much baseless. Thanks anyway though.
@@dav1djac0b I'm sorry but my discernment tells me that they are ladies
It will never be the same as what? Tennis evolves all the time, constantly. The equipment has changed, strokes have changed, training has changed. Tennis changes constantly. And by the way, for all the black girls that were inspired by her to pick up the racquet, where are they in the ranking? The inspiration has not translated in numbers. One or two black players, Sloan and Gauff. that's about it. In a population fawning over the opportunities the Williams opened up, where are the black players? I hear black people credit blacks with superior genetics all the time. Shouldn't they be able to succeed in droves? Why are the men succeeding in football and basketball, but the women are not seeing the same success in Tennis, a sport that requires athleticism to excel.
OMG, I like everything about this girl! Her drive, her perseverance, her attitude (she is not afraid to show that she’s angry) and her effortlessness confidence. She’s everything what modern girl aspire to be. She got where she is though her hard work, perseverance and she can be proud of herself! LOVE IT!!!!❤️❤️❤️
It's wonderful when you love someone and they love you back may God continue blessing both
Lots of love to you Serena from Barbados. You are beautiful and I am happy to hear that you are happy. Stay blessed.
When I found out that Serena won a grand slam while pregnant, I realised that I'd never be able to eclipse her achievements; it's just not possible to win a grand slam whilst being repeatedly kicked in the nuts....😢 In all seriousness, she is a great role model and fantastic sportsperson; her work rate and dominance over the women's game for so long is nothing short of incredible.
Sahil Handa That feat, not including her complete dominance over the sport for so long, puts her in the top 10 if not top 5 athletes in history.
Didn't expect you here...
C Zar i can't think of any individual athlete that comes close to matching her accomplishments in all areas. maybe Muhammad Ali. former physical trainer of Mayweather said she is undoubtedly the hardest working athlete he's ever been around
Only shows how little competiton there is in female sport. If you win the most prestigious even while not being in perfect condition there is something wrong with the sport.
all due respect "only shows"....trust me...if more females athletes of her caliber were out there, there is someone who would be trying to put them center stage to milk them for every ounce of talent that they have. my view is that she remains in a class by herself.
I love those Williams sisters. It has been a joy to watch both these ladies. From childhood like a skittish doe, to graceful ice skater. Win or lose it is always a pleasure watching their tennis matches. Determination, and hard work have brought them all they deserve. GOD BLESS Serena, and good luck in all your endeavors.
I don't understand why people say Serena is a man. She is so dainty and feminine
lisa tillman he's had years of practice!
Gina And real men know men when they see them... Right brother Gina????!!! :)
Extremely feminine and girly and lady like and elegant
She's just in phenomenal shape!!! Beautiful lady 😘
That wasn't a racist cartoon drawing. American political cartoonist draw worse cartoons about American presidents and politicians. I'm sure some here have paid, to have their facial features exaggerate by street artist/cartoonist. The Australian cartoonist exaggerate features that Serena has already done herself Have you seen her face and lips lately? She's obviously getting work done on her lips. Did the cartoonist exaggerate her arms? No! Serena has massive arms for a man--I mean a woman. Look at the recent commercial she made for, Beats by Dre Headphones, she's letting the world know that she's the "Queen of QUEENS." The commercial is full of drag queens hinting who Serena truly is.She wasn't fighting for women's rights and equality--she was fighting for a 3.8 million dollar check and her 24th grand slam.
I love how she is a beast on the court and then so gorgeous and fashionable 2 minutes later. I would need a week. Luv her :)

Just leave sarena Williams alone she a queen of tennis and she will always be the to me and if i see her in new york i wil bouw to her
I love Serena she's not only the greatest player, she's so well spoken
Serena Williams always classy, funny and a true inspiration!
True inspiration to get famous and married the devil?
+Bin Boy I agree she married the devil.
Artemis Iokasti let me guess u r white
Yeah. I fondly remember back to 2009 US Open final when she physically threatened a line judge "If I could, I would take this ... ball and shove it down your ... throat and kill you," Williams said.

Artemis Iokasti agree.
Winning a GRAND SLAM while PREGNANT GOATTTT!
Novak Jankovic .... FACTS SIR!!!!

Sweet, intelligent and well spoken. I really enjoy Serena.
Wow! That was very enjoyable. Her body is not masculine. It is like a amazon woman, fit and fabulous potential for athletes.
Where you from,hello she is black and do you tent yourself
Um that's a bit offensive you know
I'm a man and I must say that body being musculine question also make me feel uncomfortable ...it's uncalled for.
Thank you Serena. I have truly been encouraged even at the young age of 63.
I'm 77 and she's an encouragement to me in life, not tennis.
@@saundrajoyner8228 she's not a good person she thinks she's better than certain people
@@perry6712 how do you know what she thinks? Are you a mind reader?
Love her determination to the game of life.
I like the way she eluded to the fact that her husband is a fantastic lover and better than the rest. For that reason I predict a boy 👶🏽
Haha, I found that interesting she'd say that. Well he is like 6'5" so maybe he's well ahem proportioned
It's a girl
Portishead Biscuit i didnt know he was that tall!!! Wow must be lol
I missed that! When did she say that?
Serena I absolutely love you, as a person and an athlete, go girl, all my love from Dublin, Ire.
She is just amazing person
I loved this intervieew. Serena has an exceptional and focused mind set. ❤
Love how Serena's so humble!
These ladies are so inspiring
Congatulations Serena on your Grand Slam and Pregnancy.
Bernie S men can’t have babies kzhead.info/sun/o5dqkauxlpx6Zn0/bejne.html
Serena is such an inspirational person.
This Lady is blessed!
What a fantastic interview. Such an amazing person, incredible athlete and thoughtful life journeyman!
Love this lady. Such an example to all young ladies.
As a black girl growing up playing tennis, Serena was my #1 role model, and now as a young black woman and seeing Serena dominate all aspects of her life, she is still my #1. Thank you for opening up space for black girls and women to be successful, to be powerful, and to be unapologetic about our greatness even when other people want to tear us down. I’m so glad that you’re happy and I hope that I can reach that in my own way one day.
She is such an inspiration greatest athlete ever. what a babe!
Excellence. Excellence in life, sports, family, motherhood, and love! Thank you, Serena Williams. You are the best!
Love her 💪🏽❤️❤️❤️🖤
I'm so proud of you Serena #fangirling!!!
Serena is so awesome. Gayle King is so phenomenal. Two dynamic women.
beautiful conversation!
People are always making negative age comments. She is only 36 years old, not 100. Stop with the ageism.
No matter what has happened today at the US Open 2018 grand final you are the BOMB Serena!!!!! Thanks for the tennis and your beautiful spoken words
Venus and Serena: They may not look it in the heat, stress and sweat of a Grand Slam tennis match, but off the court, you can see how beautiful each one is.
I love and adore her, successful, down to earth and beautiful!
She’s so inspiring
Thank you for being a powerful woman and a positive one.
Don't we love Serena's fighting spirit, but also very intuitive & such a blessing in life, only the ignorance won't recognize
"Playing Venus is like playing myself". Serena Williams ❤️
One year ago and this woman Serena, still capicates me. She is a great person.
Greatest athlete of all time. Love her!
hahaha. She serves at 120 mph average. Federer serves at 140 mph. Are you saying dominant? Margaret Court has 64 total Grand Slam titles. Serena has 39. Serena is not even close to being the greatest athlete of all time. Try again with some supporting statistics rather then just hyperbole
@@joehalliday6081 she is the greatest athlete of all time . Now go deal with it Period!!!!!!!
@@kmags8065 most disagree, now deal with it! She is done, never to have achieved the record of womens single gs and no where near the all time GOAT Magaret’s 64 total GS. So deal with that little girl, deal with that. Boom! Mike drop on yo.
@@kmags8065 she is a distant third place behind steffi and martina for weeks ranked number one. She must be the most pathetic greatest athlete ever. Deal wit it bayotch
@@kmags8065 is that why you used the word damn? Because you forgot to scream? So you have no statistics to support your claim? Just your fandom? Git real gurl!
Serena is so beautiful!
To another silverback
Go Serena!
I admire you Serena, you are a great woman that makes me proud to know you are happy in your new life as a mother and wife and still a great player.
Excellent interview with the greatest tennis player ever, Queen Serena Williams!
She deserves to be approved by everyone
I'm so glad Serena doesn't have tattoos! God bless you Serena and may you and your little family prosper!!

Absolutely lovely interview. i love Serena
Serena, looking amazing with this look., also really authentic 💛
I absolutely love & admire this woman!!! Thank you for modeling GREATNESS and inspiring us to become the best versions of ourselves!!! 🙏😇✨💙
Speech wise Serena took over his dad's way of speech. Strong minded
I love her so much :)
him...you love him so much. no it's not a misspelling. it's a dude and dudes can not have babies i hope you know. sit down and have a glass of water watch some older videos of the two brothers in early tennis. cheating WOMAN since years. yes! it's insanity. you have been lied to since the day you were born. everything you "know" is a lie. whatever you think is right is exactly the opposite, so make a little list for yourself. take time to digest. i suggest getting something called the internet and a computer?! learning how to type on a keyboard?! and RESEARCH (look up in dictionary what "research" truly means) research DOES NOT include TELL-A-VISION nor it includes "news"paper or any msm. research daily for the next few years....peace. good luck.
I am so distracted by Gail's tattoos! Who knew!
I will be so rude enough to say...I don't care for it on her so thankfully she doesn't have to care what I want for her life.
Right, guess Serena couldn't have the whole moment....
Wow I did not even notice at first lol.
Old comment, I know ..but I so agree, that blew me right out of the atmosphere

Serena is such a classy woman. Talented, beautiful and sophisticated.
I always enjoy Serena interviews. Thank you Ted!
Serena you are an inspiration, "pregnant or not I had to win" and you did
Neha George exactly. Because he was not pregnant kzhead.info/sun/o5dqkauxlpx6Zn0/bejne.html
This woman is incredible
I love and adore this beautiful woman, such a role model. Wish you all the best looking forward to seeing your beautiful baby.
Wonderful insight to your life and experiences, thanks!!!!!!!!! Gayle, wonderful questions!!!!!! Right on!
Not sure how I got here but I watched the whole video. What an amazing woman and a great role model. Also, she's one of the greatest athletes of all time.
Me too. Also, she is absolutely stunning!!
The greatest..
Serena is all that and some love her and her family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Didn't know Gale was tatted up like that lol
Queen Keisha OK!!! thats what I said lol
Queen Keisha that's what I said 😂😂🤣
Queen Keisha Yeah! I was shocked. I'm curious about the meaning of the design. Anyone know?
I was in shock 🤣🤣... and it ain't a pretty one. Lol. Get your Chris brown on Miss King lol
I think it's temporary. I looked at her Instagram and it's not on her arm.
Love from Haiti 🇭🇹 sis! So happy and proud of you !! You GO!!!
Serena is the Queen!

Alexis is of Armenian extraction - like the Kardashians. If you study their history, you will see they have been persecuted and suffered genocide on a large scale. It is a meeting of the minds which counts more than appearances. They have both experienced unforgivable persecution in their respective histories which has brought them together. It is genuine love on both sides. As an African, I can tell you that in Africa races mix all the time it's no big deal. Let her be happy, she deserves it. Love you always Serena 😃
Jim A well said!!👏👏
Jim A.
Both got attracted to each other which ended in birth of a baby & in Marriage . That's all it counts . Both seems to be happy .
Is he a Roma everybody kept saying he's white if he's roma he's not white
Jim A they didn't get married because of their background...
What a lovely lady.
Serena Williams is one of the most amazing women ever! May God protect her! From Switzerland.
Thanks for this video ❤ She is so impressive !
