Reaction to Serena Williams' loss in the third round of the U.S. Open.

When Serena Williams won the 1999 U.S. Open for her first Grand Slam title at age 17, she wore white beads in her hair.

The talk of tennis — and beyond — for most of the past three weeks has been about Serena Williams and her announcement that she is planning to stop playing professional tennis.

The Waffle House — on Rt. 29 in Charlottesville, Virginia — was where Ohanian said he decided to give up being a lawyer to start Reddit.

To date, Williams has 73 career singles titles, 23 career doubles titles and over $94 million in career winnings.

"Facing Forward" brings weekly conversations about the tectonic shifts in our world and how they impact every American.

Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian is an advocate for work/life balance. For Ohanian, the 2017 book "Why We Sleep (Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams)" shifted his entire mindset. "Really [the book] solidified why it's actually really important." The book "explains how neglecting sleep undercuts your creativity, problem solving, decision-making, learning, memory, heart health, brain health, mental health, emotional well-being, immune system, and even your life span," Gates wrote. But I really strive for that because I'm seeing the real results every day in my own life," he says.

Investor Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit and husband to tennis legend Serena Williams, is among the latest of high-profile names to support NFTs, or non-fungible tokens. "I've invested big in women's sports, but the rise of NFTs and trading card boom is going to be HUGE for women's sports," Ohanian tweeted on Saturday. NFTs are unique cryptocurrency tokens used to represent digital assets, including works of art, sports collectibles and video clips, to name a few. Although the collectibles have so far been centered mostly around men's sports, Ohanian predicts the NFT market for women's sports collectibles will be even larger. Like Ohanian, investor Mark Cuban also predicts the NFT market will disrupt the sports collectible market, along with the art, music and movie industries.

But now it's really, really shifted everyone's perception about what the office looks like. But the delayed gratification part, yeah, that's- that's actually a novel phenomenon for "Gen Z." OHANIAN: Yeah- yeah. And certainly when it comes to user safety, is- is really, really, really important. OHANIAN: Really, really.

I don't think we go back to a world before this because these communities, they're a byproduct of the connected internet," Ohanian said in a "Squawk Box" interview. Ohanian said the GameStop short squeeze, which has fueled the video game retailer's stock up nearly 2,000% this month alone, shows the disruptive nature of the internet. The massive rally in GameStop shares has put financial pressure on the hedge funds that had shorted the stock. "They don't really understand what they're doing. I think small-time investors like that, unsophisticated investors, are going to be hurt by this."

Shares of GameStop, the center of a trading frenzy fueled by a Reddit message board, dropped sharply on Thursday after brokers restricted trading on the stock. Earlier in Thursday's session, the stock was up over 25% and down more than 60% and trading was halted several times. The stock started to fall as word spread that Robinhood and Interactive Brokers were restricting trading, and it opened the session solidly in the red. Billionaire investor David Tepper told CNBC early Thursday that investors should be careful playing in speculative names. Old scars," Tepper told CNBC's Joe Kernen on "Squawk Box."

LEXINGTON, Ky. Serena Williams was calm in a return more dramatic than some might have expected even after a long layoff.

Williams advanced to a second-round showdown against older sister Venus, who dispatched Victoria Azarenka 6-3, 6-2. The Croatian-born Pera eventually evened the set and had Williams down 0-40 at 4-4 before Williams, 38, rallied to stay on serve.

Your smartphone data could be used for apps that tech giants, including Alphabet's Google and Apple, are backing with supportive interfaces to track the spread of coronavirus, but should you or your family members agree to use the contact-tracing technology?
