Pointing out that her race and gender have been called flaws or disadvantages, Serena says that she considered them to be "fuel" for her success instead.
Even though she has countless achievements to her credit, she gets frustrated when the topic of equal pay comes up. The same sacrifices and hard work put in by female sportspersons are just not given equally recognition.
Serena pertinently raises the point that male athletes like LeBron, Tiger Woods, and Federer are not called the world's best male athletes, while the gender tag never seems to leave her.
