In this brief segment, the speaker—who claims seven years of collaboration with Serena Williams—recounts an incident where Serena rolled her ankle during the Australian Open. He argues that a difference of only a few millimeters in shoe design could have prevented the injury and possibly altered the tournament outcome. The speaker stresses that, because elite tennis players have limited footwear options, every design decision is critical. He highlights the role of advanced 3D modeling and software precision, insisting that millimeter‑level adjustments and pixel‑accurate graphics are essential to ensure the shoe performs exactly as intended.

I worked with Serena Williams for 7 years, and I have footage from when, when I first started working with her when she rolled her ankle. I believe it was a difference of millimeters that made the difference between her rolling her ankle and not finishing the Australian Open to win. Possibly if she was wearing a different shoe, that she could have won, won that, that Open at the time. And with footwear, you don't have that many to play with, so the decisions that you make are critical. And so using 3D and using the softwares and making sure that those millimeters are going where you want them and the, you know, the pic— down to the pixelation, the pixels are where you want them is critical.
