Who are Serena and Venus Williams?

Unless you’ve been not paying attention to tennis for the last 20 years or living under a rock, you’ve likely heard of Venus and Serena Williams.

The two sisters have a story right out of a Hollywood movie: siblings who through hard work and dedication made it to the top of their profession.

Anyone hearing their story would likely be inspired. But what would the two tell aspiring players on how to make it in tennis? They recently shared what they’d tell them, and it was great advice.

Serena and Venus are two of the top women’s tennis players in this current era. While they are both past the most dominant phases of their respective careers,

they still have a wealth of accomplishments to fall back on. The two have always approached the game with fiery competitiveness.

The Williams’ sisters grew up in Compton, a suburb of Los Angeles, California. Their father, Richard Williams, famously trained them from an incredibly young age to play tennis. His dedication and belief in his children paid off. In the late 90s and throughout the 2000s, the two have been two of the most successful women’s tennis players in the game.

They’ve also been very successful outside tennis, with numerous endorsements and business ventures to each of their names.
