After 27 years in professional tennis, the 8-part series provides the most complete, intimate, and compelling account of her legendary career, featuring firsthand perspective from Williams and key figures throughout her life.

On the red carpet at Tribeca Festival Williams reflected on her career, saying “In my position and growing up as a teenager and 14, I kind of had to be guarded to just kind of stay sane, and just being in so much press and doing everything that I was doing and traveling the globe every year. And it wasn’t like you were on tour and you took a break and you had a couple of years off. It was very week.”

She continued, “So it was a grind. It’s really cool to see a true side of what happens behind the scenes.”
