Golden Valley-based General Mills announced that Williams will be featured on the classic orange breakfast cereal box not only because she's widely considered one of the greatest tennis players of all time, but because of her cultural and social influence. 

For her part, Williams says she's dreamt of being on the Wheaties box since she was a kid.
