Award-winning recording artist Beyoncé, whose song “Be Alive” was featured in the film and was nominated for Best Original Song, performed to kick-off the show, and was introduced by Venus and Serena.
The performance was broadcast from the tennis courts in Compton, California, where the Williams sisters learned to play tennis, a point they made to the audience.

The film chronicles the Williams sisters’ youth, where they learned to play tennis under father Richard’s tutelage, through Venus’ professional debut at the 1994 Bank of the West Classic. The Williams sisters, along with Isha Price, are the film’s executive producers, and it’s left an impression on the rest of the Hologic WTA Tour, too.
“I definitely watched the movie. It was really good. I have heard the stories,” Coco Gauff told reporters after winning in Miami on Sunday. “I feel in the tennis world people know their story but it was kind of cool to see on the screen.”
