"Serena Williams is an icon, a role model and a force for change in the world" Tanenbaum said. "She's earned every bit of her incredible success with hard work, tenacity and determination in the face of countless challenges. She exemplifies the very best of what the Tempo stand for -- we couldn't be more honored to have Serena in our court."
