On Sunday, Gatorade released a commercial in honor of tennis legend Serena Williams narrated by the one and only Beyonce.
During the commercial, Beyoncé shared sweet words with Williams ahead of her final tennis tournament.
Williams is set to take the court for her final U.S. Open match tonight (August 29).
The ad begins with Beyonce introducing a young Black girl watching the athlete on television. “When the world writes her down in history, we’ll begin where she started. At love.”
“A love that you started a movement. A movement to always love exactly who you are. To be so in love with your identity that your very essence cannot be contained,” she continued.
The commercial included pictures of female athletes uniting to dominate sports, with Beyonce reminding women “to cherish every muscle and every curve your body exhibits.” Adding, “She has started a movement — to realize you can do anything if you have self-love.”
Earlier this month, Williams announced that she was “evolving away from tennis.”
