>> no one really thought serena was going to win a u.s. open. i don't even know if she believed it until it happened. and this is her very first u.s. open, and she was so composed. she was so ready for this moment, and the first thing she does is walk over to her family. and this embrace that she gives her mother and her sisters and the way venus is looking at her is arguably one of the most affectionate moments that i've seen in the sport. >> i'm the first actually black woman to win a major title since -- gibson and it's really great news. i'm doing well, and it's good news for the minorities and just a different group of people. it's great. >> this is the moment whether they realize it or not of a new era. tennis was brand new, and the people who were in charge, they were two little black girls from compton. >> you would expect that the nation would embrace her as the national champion and beloved and the sisters and the story line just got everything, but even as they're winning and winning the challenges are still there about trying to win over people, be accepted, be understood. >> indian wells is right outside of palm springs, considered one of the best tournaments in tennis. >> serena, she was supposed to play her sister venus in the previous round in the semis, and venus couldn't play and pulled out from the match. there was always this accusation that mr. williams would tell venus to win this match or serena to win this match, and that was never true. >> and the crowd thought this was kind of fixing by the family, they're deciding who was going to win. >> and there was one person who started the boos. >> it's an amazing sound here. >> and it just picked up like -- it picked up like wildfire. it spread across that entire stadium. >> a crescendo of boos for serena williams. >> and i think what's interesting is that the commentators felt it was unprecedented, and it was. >> and the crowd -- an american crowd booing an american family. and you have to say it does smack of a little bit of racism. >> you could see how sad serena was. again, she's still a kid. no matter how much preparation you get, no matter how many times your father has paid somebody to call you the n-word while you're practicing on the court, it's another thing when it's real life. >> unfortunately, this was just one of so many hostile environments that the sisters to play in, but they managed to reign supreme in spite of that. >> it's just a mental match more of a physical match. it was a little tough because one year before the reception wasn't so good, but, you know, if you're a champion you should be able to get through it. >> so indian wells was 2001, and, you know, shortly after 2002 all she did was become the number one player in the world. >> game set match. >> in 2002 she beat her sister at womeimbledon. she was on a winning streak that was undeniable. >>, you know, she won everything. the serena slam came from 2002, 2003. she held all four titles at the same time. >> i actually played her in 2002 sort of as she became and was continuing to become serena fully. i came up against her, played her first at wimbledon, and i remember coming up against her like what do i do?

you've won enough, but also it's those champions that know they have more to give and they want to give more. and so if they can mend themselves back to health, they're going to go back out there and do it again. >> after serena came back she was on a tear. she was taking names, kicking asses. serena was serena. >> she started to really think she could dominate every single tournament, every single grand slam. and it was kind of like, oh, boring, serena's winning another grand slam again. >> she was playing with this aggressiveness, this urgency, this i told you i'd be backness, if you will. >> serena, she had a forehand so hard to this day i still think about it. it's the hardest forehand that ever went by me, and i couldn't even move for it. the intensity she brings, that force of will that comes out in tight moments where she can raise her game, where she can raise the ante, that intensity, you know, is the best way i can describe it. >> the australian open in 2017 i remember so well. i was kmenicommonitating. >> serena was going for the record to beat second graph and hoping to catch margaret court at 24. >> she was on fire in this tournament. she was just thrashing players, first round, second round. and so all of a sudden venus is on the other side of the net. and then, of course, serena winning her 23rd. >> and serena smashes -- >> beating her sister in the final could you get more poetic? >> it's such a great feeling to -- to have 23. it really feels great. >> serena likes to have a drink after she finally wins a grand slam, and i said to her as a joke, you know, what are you going to have tonight, bourbon?

>> it was a moment that she started to reflect more on her character about who she was as a person of not being a cheat, and it kind of got away from the actual match itself. >> i have never cheated in my life. i have a daughter and i stand what's right for her and i've never cheated. and you owe me an apology. >> every parent male or female felt that, and serena won the crowd over with that one line. >> naomi osaka won. she was younger, she was faster, stronger, more reprayer, more hungry. >> at the trophy presentation for serena and naomi, it was an awkward moment. >> good evening, everyone. and we welcome you to the trophy celebration of the united states open. >> the crowd is booing. naomi was crying because she knew they didn't want her to win. >> i just want to tell you guys she played well, and this is her first grand slam. >> serena was hurting herself. she was in pain because she lost a match, and this would have been the moment that she could have perhaps won another major, tying margaret court's record. >> i'm fairly certain in saying she would have broken that record if she hadn't had olympia. i think she understands that the bigger picture is how great her life is now with her family and her daughter. and she wouldn't give olympia back for any amount of grand slams. >> if you've watched her over the last few years you know that her love for the game is different. she doesn't have that same fire. and so there are all these rumors of it's time -- it's time for you to retire. it's time for you to take a break. >> when you look back at the 2021 australian open, when she left the court, you know, she kind of put her hand over her heart in thanking the crowd. a lot of people thought that, hey, are you coming back?
