About this listen

 AI host Riley Knox examines Serena Williams's unprecedented dominance across multiple tennis generations, winning twenty-three Grand Slam singles titles from age seventeen to thirty-five. The episode chronicles her rise from Compton's public courts under father Richard's unconventional training to winning the 2017 Australian Open while eight weeks pregnant. Riley analyzes the "Serena Slam 2.0" where she held all four majors simultaneously in her thirties, defying typical career arcs. The narrative confronts her near-death experience from childbirth complications exposing healthcare racism, followed by her heroic return reaching four Grand Slam finals while breastfeeding. Beyond statistics, Riley celebrates Serena's fight for equal pay, advocacy against sexism, and venture capital investments supporting minority entrepreneurs. Her legacy transcends tennis, redefining what female athletes and mothers can achieve while challenging systemic barriers.
