Serena Williams defeated Simona Halep,  6-3, 7-6 (5) in the Western and Southern Open finals at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason on Sunday August 23, 2015.

Serena Williams, the world's No. 1 ranked women's tennis player, is undoubtedly the star in the newest Beats By Dre commercial, but how about her co-star? It's Cincinnati.

In Beats By Dre's commercial titled 'Serena Williams - Rise,' crews filmed Williams throughout Cincinnati in mid-August.

Readers will remember that Williams briefed the media about the commercial shoot on the Tuesday of the Western & Southern Open, stating that "it was super quick and super easy."

At three minutes long, it's a commercial much more than "quick."

Cincinnatians will be thrilled to see a large swath of the city in the commercial's background.

As Williams runs through streets and up stairs, viewers can spot tiara atop the Great American Tower, a fountain in Eden Park, the underbelly of the the I-75/I-71 connectors near Fort Washington Way and more.

To top it all off, Williams finishes her run overlooking the city skyline.

Williams is currently competing in the U.S. Open in New York City.

Cincinnati's skyline is clearly visible behind Serena William's in her new 'Rise' commercial for Beats By Dre.
