Mumbai: At the close of the annual US Open Tennis Championships, CNN in the US will celebrate the personal and professional life of multiple tennis Grand Slam champion Serena Williams in "Serena Williams: On Her Terms." Produced by the CNN FlashDocs unit, the hour-long special will premiere on 11 September.

Williams, widely regarded as the greatest tennis player of all time, is one of the most decorated women in history, having won 23 singles Grand Slam titles, four Olympic Gold Medals, and nearly $100 million in prize money. Her ascent has spanned three action-packed decades, turning Williams into a global force and a household name. On 9 August, Williams announced her formal "evolution" from the sport, citing her desire to focus on her career as a venture capitalist and expand her family.

"Serena Williams: On Her Terms” chronicles her early beginnings in Compton, CA to her epic ascent to international prominence, exploring the key moments on and off the court that shaped the athlete, woman, and mother. The documentary boasts an all-female interview roster, featuring conversations with Kerri Walsh Jennings (three-time Olympic gold medalist and beach volleyball player), Jennie Finch (Olympic gold medalist and softball pitcher), Napheesa Collier (Olympic gold medalist and WNBA Minnesota Lynx forward), Lindsay Flach (nine-time Team USA track and field heptathlete) - all who have grappled with motherhood and their sports - in addition to Rennae Stubbs (Williams' current US Open coach and four-time Olympian), Cari Champion, Zina Garrison and Chandra Rubin, (co-hosts, The GOAT: Serena podcast) and CNN's Christine Brennan.
