Google honored four WTA stars across different eras in its ’25 Years of Search’ video, emphasizing its global influence on information access and spotlighting universal topics. This article explores the spotlight on tennis legends, including Billie Jean King, Serena Williams, Venus Williams, and the rising star Coco Gauff, in Google’s commemorative tribute
In the category of the “most searched GOAT,” renowned figures like Tom Brady, Billie Jean King, and the Williams sisters were recognized alongside athletes such as Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, Usain Bolt, and Virat Kohli. Billie Jean King’s reflections on generational succession were underscored by clips of Coco Gauff‘s celebration for her US Open victory, conveying the message, “Cheers to those who set the standard.”
Alongside the tennis players generating attention, Google’s “Year in Search” discloses that Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz secured the 6th and 7th positions, respectively, among the Top 10 most-searched athletes of the year.
The top spot was claimed by Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills player who suffered a cardiac arrest during an NFL game in January but made a recovery. Djokovic and Alcaraz followed closely after a Top 5 that included notable figures such as French soccer player Kylian Mbappé, Kansas City Chiefs player (and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend) Travis Kelce, NBA star Ja Morant, and English soccer player Harry Kane.
Google’s ’25 Years of Search’ tribute serves as a testament to the cultural impact and global influence of tennis icons across different eras. From Billie Jean King’s groundbreaking contributions to the Williams sisters’ dominance and Coco Gauff’s emergence as a rising star, the video encapsulates the rich history and promising future of tennis. As we reflect on the past 25 years of search, it is evident that tennis and its iconic figures have played a significant role in shaping the digital landscape and inspiring generations to come.
