Watch: Serena Williams “Rises Up” in Beats by Dre Ad ft Andra Day

Serena Williams , who scored her 30th-straight Grand Slam win at the U.S. Open on Wednesday, stars in a new Beats by Dre TV spot that celebrates her journey.

In the clip, the world #1 wakes up to tea and a sports analyst’s critique before taking a run in New York City.

Prior to hitting the pavement, she tunes out the world (or maybe tunes into herself) with the help of Andra Day ‘s uplifting Rise Up playing through Powerbeats2 Wireless headphones on Beats 1 Radio .

“Her story is extremely inspiring no matter what walk of life you’re in,” says Andra Day who will meet Serena for the first time at the U.S. Open.

She passes a store window full of TVs that display memorable moments from her 20-year career: the frustrations and the triumphs.
