Brilliant Serena

The return of Serena Williams to professional tennis after giving birth to her daughter in 2018 clearly did not go according to plan: injuries, a painful loss to Naomi Osaka, and a subsequent scandal that sparked a discussion: Should a sports icon behave in such a manner? Serena Williams is not just the most outstanding athlete of her time; she is a cultural phenomenon of our era: she has millions of followers on social media, her own business, and is a role model for both children and adults. But what is more important to her: the race for records or the image of invincibility? Sports or personal brand? Tennis or motherhood? Gerald Marzorati's book is an attempt to understand what the real Serena Williams is like.
