Serena Williams adds yet another feather to her cap! From the public tennis courts of Compton, California, to becoming one of the greatest tennis players of all time, we’ve seen it all in her playing days. Her journey on the courts ended in September 2022, but off the court, she is still doing what she does best. Inspiring millions of young athletes and advocating for women’s sports along with her husband, Alexis Ohanian. She has now joined the ownership of the WNBA’s latest side, the Toronto Tempo. What did her husband say about seeing her joining the WNBA ownership group alongside other athletes like Tom Brady, Magic Johnson, Dwyane Wade, and Renee Montgomery?

Remember, Serena Williams had once said, “It’s really important to show up and to be there for young girls. Our athletes shouldn’t have to feel like they aren’t being supported.“? Talking about supporting women’s sports, Williams already has a stake in the women’s soccer team (Angel City FC), Miami Dolphins (NFL), and the TGL powerhouse, Los Angeles Golf Club. Even his husband, Alexis Ohanian was spotted donating millions of dollars to Virginia’s women’s basketball program in 2024.

Apart from that, we all know he also launched the groundbreaking all-women’s track and field event, Athlos, in the same year. Speaking about investing in women’s sports, Ohanian had previously stated, “The silver lining of women’s sports being so underinvested was that they were so easy to invest in. You can try anything you want. There is no way that things have been done before.” How does he feel now seeing his wife putting long strides in the development of the WNBA?

Well, Alexis Ohanian believes women’s isn’t just an excellent investment, but it creates pathways for young girls to dream and thrive. According to him, “high-integrity owners” like Serena Williams will always make sure these women continue to be supported and thrive in this new era. Further on, showcasing her happiness to see Williams achieving this new milestone, he tweeted, “Couldn’t imagine a better owner for Toronto than @serenawilliams — the Tempo just got an owner who CHAMPIONS women & excellence — made a career being her authentic self — opening doors for a generation & reshaping the sports world around her — the WNBA is lucky to have her.“

We’ve heard what Ohanian’s say on this, but what do Serena Williams and the others involved have to say about this big news in the WNBA? Serena Williams will now partner with the Chairman of Kilmer Sports Ventures for the Tempo, Larry Tenenbaum. Speaking about her new move, Williams said, “I am thrilled to announce my ownership role in the first Canadian WNBA team, the Toronto Tempo.”

She further added, “This moment is not just about basketball; it is about showcasing the true value and potential of female athletes — I have always said that women’s sports are an incredible investment opportunity. I am excited to partner with Larry and all of Canada in creating this new WNBA franchise and legacy.” Tenenbaum even shared her thoughts on this new inclusion with the team. He said, “Serena Williams is an icon. a role model and a force for change in the world,” and also admitted that they couldn’t be more honored to have her on their team.

Even the Tempo president, Teresa Resch, looked quite excited about having the tennis star on their team, and Resch even hailed Williams as a “champion” and “the greatest athlete of all time” in her recent speech. She even said Serena Williams will have an active role in future jersey designs and will help forge unique merchandise collaboration with the team. Be it for her on-court achievements or off-court pursuits, this 43-year-old tennis legend never fails to put her name in the headlines.
