When Whitney Houston opened Arthur Ashe Stadium (video)

You can never have too many Whitney Houston tributes.

In 1997, the late singer performed her hit "One Moment In Time" at the grand opening of Arthur Ashe Stadium. Her rousing vocal capped off an hour-long ceremony that paid tribute to the American tennis hero and celebrated the opening of the $254 million stadium.

Venus Williams made her US Open debut that year, advancing to the final before losing to Martina Hingis, 6-4, 6-0.

On Saturday night, Serena Williams tweeted a message about Houston's death that referenced the song she sang at the Ashe opening.

Serena was attending the Clive Davis pre-Grammies party at the Beverly Hills Hilton, the same hotel where Houston died on Saturday night.
