Serena Williams and Roger Federer are synonymous with tennis. Both of them have dominated the sport, with a trail of Grand Slam titles and plenty of tennis records shattered. In this episode, 13-year Amogh from Michigan, a teen fond of playing both tennis and golf, walks us through the careers of these two tennis stars. Serena showed incredible promise as a sportsperson even when she was just a toddler. Her father Richard Williams is credited with coaching her in the early years. Federer, on the other hand, dabbled across a few sports, including tennis and did not become very serious about the sport until he was nearly 12. 

When Serena won her first Grand Slam, she was only the second ever African-American woman to win one. When Federer won his first Grand Slam, he was the first ever Swiss male to win one. Both were sources of inspiration to their respective communities.
