Since Serena is known as much for her fashion sense as her on-court play, she’s going out in style. Per sports journalist Nick DePaula, the four-time Olympic gold medalist wore a “figure skating-inspired Nike dress” of her own design, which featured six layers to represent her six US Open championships. After the match, she revealed she took two of the layers out because it was too heavy. Her “NikeCourt Flare 2 shoes include a diamond-encrusted Swoosh and solid gold lace deubrés with 400 hand-set diamonds.”

Throughout the day, ESPN discussed Serena’s impact on tennis—something that can be seen in all the Black women competing in the tournament. But Serena’s influence is so much bigger than sports. To highlight the full scope of the seven-time Wimbledon champion’s impact, Gatorade turned to another legend, Beyonce, to narrate an ad celebrating the tennis superstar.

“To be so in love with your identity, that your very essence can not be contained. To love that sound of your own voice and the way you move,” the Renaissance artist says. “To cherish every muscle and every curve your body exhibits. To feel like a queen, unapologetically, with the crown indefinitely. To always love being a proud Black woman, a parent, a dreamer. To always love being you – a whole you, the real you. To always love you.”

When she and Venus came on the scene as teenage girls who weren’t afraid to celebrate their Blackness, they showed all of us that it was OK to be ourselves. With their beads and colorful clothes, they told us that if there wasn’t a space for us, we could just make one.
