Follow Us
Richard Williams, who became the coach for his daughters during their childhood, is still keeping tabs on the Williams sisters’ endeavors both professional and personal. Now that the 23-time singles Grand Slam champion has put down her racquet, the 82-year-old is making sure that her other daughter, Venus, is diligently keeping up with her on-court sessions. Recently, he was there to witness Venus’ practice session, in which he was sighted sitting on a bench on the court while rooting for the elder Williams sister.
In her recent social media post, the 7-time singles Grand Slam champion shared a video clip of her father “still going strong” at the age of 82, as he paid a visit to the tennis court. Venus said, “Dad is still going strong. He doesn’t always go to the practices (I can’t always get him to come) but when he does it’s epic. This was the end of a two-minute rally.” Though he was there for a practice session after a long period, Richard made sure that he noticed every little detail of her daughter’s racket game, including her rally.
