Venus Williams has had a very fruitful career herself. The older William sister has won seven Grand Slam titles. Venus has also won a mammoth 49 WTA titles. To win five Wimbledon and two US Open titles are something most players only dream of.
Venus and younger sister Serena Williams have been groomed into forces to be reckoned with in tennis thanks to their father. Venus has often been living in the shadow of her sister. However, that doesn’t take any credit away from the greatness she has achieved on her own.
Recently, when Venus was asked if she still pratised with her sister, she said, “No. Not that much. We stopped practicing many many years ago. We just like to work on different things. So in order for us to get our best practices we got to do different practices.”

Both players have different departments they like to focus on. Elaborating more on this topic, Venus said, “Serena likes to hit a lot of groundstrokes, I like to do a lot of other stuff. And also when we practice together we spend the whole time saying what do you want to do? Whatever you want. No what do you want? (Laughs) we don’t always hit. But sometimes we do, and those are the best practices.”
