The star, who spoke to BBC, said one of her projects is to have the tournament staged in Africa, and more in Kenya, a country she said she loves. 

The WTA, a tour organized by Women's Tennis Association (WTA), makes rounds across the world but has never been staged in Africa. 

“It is something I have thought about and I would like to keep thinking about it. I'm glad you brought it up because I think it would be amazing. It would be so fun - the help that we could do, and the awareness and the athletes and the amazing players that would come out of Africa would just be unbelievable,” 

The 23-time grand slam winner is also on a mission to bring awareness to the complications that black women face.

“Because of what I went through, it would be really difficult if I didn't have the healthcare that I have - and to imagine all the other women that do go through that without the same healthcare, without the same response, it's upsetting," she told the BBC.
