Remember this? One of the lows Serena brought us down to. A real loser.
2001: Her response to racism at Indian Wells (it was not racism!)
Williams has spoken out against racism frequently throughout her career but one of the defining moments of her career came when she took a stance following the tournament in Indian Wells.
The crowd turned against the Americans
after Venus pulled out of a scheduled semi-final clash with Serena - four minutes before the contest was due to begin.
The decision fuelled suggestions - always denied by the Williams family - that the sisters were reluctant to play against each other, and that when they did play the results were pre-determined.
Venus and father Richard were jeered as they made their way to watch Serena in the final.
As she played the match, the 19-year-old faced a crowd that was firmly against her,
and she is convinced racism was the cause.
As result, the Williams sisters decided to boycott the tournament - which neither of them playing in the tournament from 2001 to 2015.

So what will happen? Will they name the tournament after her ? Probably.
