Serena Williams joins basketball team
The long-time tennis dominator Serena Williams is the new co-owner of the Toronto Tempo basketball team, which is currently being built up. This was announced by what will be the first Canadian team in the North American women's professional league WNBA. "This moment is not just about basketball. It's about highlighting the true value and potential of female athletes," the 43-year-old US-American explained in the announcement.

The Toronto Tempo team is set to play in the WNBA from 2026. In the men's NBA league, the Toronto Raptors, the team led by Jakob Pöltl from Vienna, won the championship in 2019.
Also on the road in soccer
This is not Serena Williams' first investment in sport. The winner of 23 Grand Slam titles, who played her first professional tennis tournament in Canada in 1995, also holds shares in the women's soccer team Angel City FC and the Miami Dolphins football team. The former world number one said goodbye to the tennis stage at the 2022 US Open.
