Serena Williams has done it all in tennis, but there’s so much more to come for her at the US Open.
At 24 years old, the world’s greatest women’s tennis player finally made it to the US Open, and it’s hard to begrudge her the accomplishment. It’s no secret that Williams is one of the most dominating athletes in history, having played her way into tennis’ Hall of Fame as a teenager in the late 1990s, and she’s on a never-ending run of good form, having won six Grand Slam titles in the past two years. But just to prove how far she’s come, Williams is now the first woman to win the US Open, Grand Slam, Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, all majors.
I have the privilege of sharing an interview with tennis legend Billie Jean King, arguably the most influential woman in tennis of all time, who wrote the book “The Billie Jean King Story” in 2006, and on this very special broadcast we’ll get to have a long chat with the tennis legend, and tell her about the game that changed everything as we transition into the US Open, as well as how she came to be Billie Jean King.

Billie Jean King is all the way back in her sport at this year’s Wimbledon. Serena is currently enjoying a run for her money with five major wins over the past two years. But that’s only because they’re connected to each other.
Billie Jean King has been a tennis player since she was 3. She’s competed on the Australian Open, French Open, US Open, and Wimbledon junior tours. Billie Jean’s been involved in every aspect of tennis from coaching, player development, to player support. Throughout her career, she has produced some of the greatest players in the sport, and has earned respect and admiration
