"That win really propelled me to the next level and it propelled me to being just…everywhere. It had been so long since an African American had won a Grand Slam — it had been a very, very long time. And I was the first to do it since Althea Gibson in the 50s. It pushed so many more amazing young Black women into the sport. And it was fun."
