"Billie Jean King is one of my role models; I think she is a great role model. She is my idol. She transcended tennis and was a role model for women's sports in general and that's what I would like to do and ultimately what I would like my career to be like.
"I think growing up I always watched tennis in Madison Square Garden — the WTA Championships event — as long as I can remember. And I never really thought I would have a chance to play there then and now here I am. I also think this is a great event and I think women’s tennis is the mecca of female sports. Having myself and Venus and Ana and Jelena at Madison Square Garden just shows how amazing tennis is and I’m excited to play in front of these New Yorkers,"--Serena Williams on her Madison Square Garden debut.
Look for Savannah's report on the live action in the coming days.
