The Williams Sisters

The Williams sisters are two of the most recognizable faces in tennis and for good reason. It is rare to see two siblings be professionals in the same sport, and even more rare that they are spectacular players. Venus and Serena started playing tennis at an early age. They were coach by their father, Richard Williams and still today, they are coached by him. They have become dominant singles players and doubles partners. Both have multiple championships in singles and doubles as well. The sisters have both been ranked #1 as singles players and have even had to face each other in the finals of some grand slams. The sisters are almost even in the number of grand slams they've won. Venus has won 7 singles titles ans Serena has won 11. One would think that these players were very similar since they both do so well, but in actuality, they are total opposites. Their personality and style of play differs tremendously. Venus is a passive, laid-back player and Serena is a fast, active player. They are a foil as they bring out each others attributes. They compliment each other and work together to make their game as successful as it is. Where one of them lacks. The other compensates. However, one thing that both of the possess is an unmatched power in hitting the ball. They let everyone know it too as the boast a loud grunt every time they hit the ball. Maybe that's just a psychological tactic to their game? Who knows? But they are known as being some of the loudest players out there. They are still playing as strong as ever and they are on their way to being legends of tennis.
