Matt Roush says...
As we watch a new generation of tennis champion emerge at Wimbledon and other Grand Slams, ESPN+ revisits the astonishing career and staying power of Serena Williams in an eight-part docuseries. She looks back at her 27 years on the court (and sometimes off) in revealing interviews, starting by declaring, “The best thing that happened to my career was coming up behind my sister [Venus].” The first episode, “Out of the Shadow,” depicts Serena’s youth growing up in Compton as Venus establishes the Williams brand, then beginning her pro career at 17 and winning the first of her 23 Grand Slams at the 1999 U.S. Open.
