The family has undoubtedly played a major role in the success of Venus Williams. Ever since her childhood, it is her family who has guided her to become one of the greatest tennis players. Over the years, the 7-time Grand Slam champion has had a bag full of memorable moments with her family. However, on various occasions, the most memorable moments for Williams have been off the court. Recently, in one of her YouTube videos, the 42-year-old recalled the first time she went clubbing with her mother.
Venus's bond with her mother Oracene
The ones who know the life history of Venus would rightly be aware of the close bond the Williams sisters had with their mother, Oracene Price. They must also be aware of the struggles that the Williams family underwent before reaching the level of stardom.
Price does not want to go out.
Starting with a brief about her mother, Venus said, “She (mother) doesn’t want to go to all these places. For example, we like to go out. She’s like, I don’t know why you guys like to go out. I’m like, it’s fun.”
When Venus Williams had an embarrassing moment at a nightclub.
“I couldn’t take her to a nightclub. Although one time we went in Moscow. It was so funny, we were out. We didn’t have any money. So, we couldn’t actually get home. We made some friends, went to eat in the middle of the night, and managed to get home.” Williams said.
Price has always accompanied Venus on-court.
While Oracene didn’t accompany Venus to the club again, that wasn’t the case in court. For years, Oracene was a permanent member of Venus’s player box during tournaments.
