No news is good news.
You’ve heard that one before, right?
Hopefully you haven’t said that before.
Why?
You should always want to hear new news, unless you are having legal issues, marital problems, unruly teenagers, recent major health related tests, you owe someone money who can kick your butt, you have angry relatives who you haven’t spoken to for years and the like.
Then you don’t want to hear any news.
You don’t want the phone to ring either.
Why do we know? Because we have been there. More than once. Holding our breath, hoping the message left won’t ruin our weekend. Not looking at certain emails, received on Thursday, until its Monday and we are finally ready to face the news.
Silent Saturdays are sacred.
So this is why we love to follow the legendary Serena Williams.
One way or another, she is making news. Always. She’s completely fascinating. Previously, mostly on the court and now, as she is healing up injuries, quite a bit off the court.
Here are some of them. New news that is.
On March 3, 2022, as reported by the global news and information source cnbc.com, “On Tuesday, Williams announced a $111 million fundraise for her new early-stage investment firm, Serena Ventures, saying she plans to invest in founders with diverse points of view. According to the firm’s website, Serena Ventures has invested in 61 companies since launching in 2014, including home fitness company Tonal, cryptocurrency resource CoinTracker and Impossible Foods.”
Wow. If you are one of those companies, that is great news.
She speaks about this pathway on The Daily Show.
You should check out this interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfEpXrhRohE
More Serena financial news.
Good news becomes great.
The team at therichest.com share, “She has earned over $94 million through her prize money on the court, which is twice more than any female athlete has accomplished. Serena Williams has managed to earn a $240 million net worth by starting bold ventures that combine with her passion.”
Wonderful news. Is that a cash register we hear ringing in the distance?
The stakes are higher and the news is getting even better. On April 21, 2022, as reported by CNN, “Twenty-three-time grand slam champion Serena Williams and seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton have joined Martin Broughton’s bid to buy Premier League club Chelsea, a source close to the bid told CNN Sport on Thursday.”
That sounds ground breaking and exciting as well. For a moment, let’s kick it around.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London.
Founded in 1905, the club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football.
Domestically, the club has won six league titles, eight FA Cups, five League Cups, and four FA Community Shields. Internationally, they have won two European Cups, two UEFA Cup Winners’ Cups, two UEFA Cups, two UEFA Super Cups, and one FIFA Club World Cup. In terms of overall trophies won, it is the fourth-most successful club in English football.
See what we mean?
Thus, as far as no news is good news, that is the glass half-empty in a possibly challenging life.
New news, for Serena Williams, appears to be great news. Glass brimming over. With green champagne.
Did you know that she is a Brand Ambassador for Wilson Racquets?
They are making some incredible news as well.
WILSON RELEASES 2022 EARTH DAY TENNIS RACKET SERIES

The new collection builds upon Wilson’s robust sustainable product offerings for Tennis players
CHICAGO, April 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — In celebration of Earth Day, Wilson Sporting Goods Co. today announces the launch of their Earth Day Tennis Racket Series. The eco-conscious collection, inclusive of three performance rackets, features bio-based and recycled material from Agiplast technology by Arkema and waterborne paints from Sherwin Williams; ultimately decreasing the footprint of each racket produced.
“The Earth Day Series is part of Wilson’s continued commitment to make the world a better place through sport,” said Hans-Martin Reh, Global General Manager of Wilson Racquet Sports. “We’re proud of the product we’ve thoughtfully crafted in a more sustainable manner, while not compromising the performance integrity of the rackets that players around the world utilize to bring their best to every match.”
The three rackets offered as part of the Earth Day series are:
- Pro Staff 97 v13
- Blade 98 v8
- Clash 100 v2
Each racket will retail for $299 and feature the following sustainable technology:
- Agiplast material by Arkema, bio-based and recycled plastic, butt caps and bumper grommet systems; now a standard in all Wilson performance tennis rackets
- Biodegradable PU (polyurethane) grips
- Innovative, clean color technology featuring waterborne primer, paint and coating
- Eco-friendly packaging
The waterborne primer and paints featured on Wilson’s Earth Day rackets will lower the amount of volatile organic compounds used during the application and manufacturing phases. The waterborne paints also provide a shorter oven cure schedule, which lowers natural gas usage and reduces CO2 emissions.
Wilson is committed to continued creation of sustainably minded products, including Triniti tennis balls, pushing the limits of sustainable performance. Triniti was designed to exist outside of a pressurized can, arriving in more easily recyclable and uniquely sustainable packaging. Wilson has also introduced the Eco Overcap across key tennis ball franchises, reducing the amount of plastic used in Overcaps by half.
Wilson recently partnered with USTA Southern California to implement their sustainable products, such as Triniti Pro, as the ball of choice for their events. The partnership will also include on-site activations and product play testing to introduce sustainable tennis options to their community of over 30,000 members. Additionally, Wilson’s ongoing collaboration with RecycleBalls encourages tennis players to collect, recycle and reuse tennis balls for a variety of uses such as resurfacing tennis courts.
Wilson’s range of sustainable products, along with the Earth Day series, are available exclusively on wilson.com beginning today. For more information, please visit wilson.com or join the conversation using @wilsontennis and #AdvantagePlanet on social.
