“We Wanted To Be Role Models” – Venus And Serena Williams

Recently, Serena Williams and her sister Venus had a talk with Naomi Campbell on YouTube. They talked about many things and one of those things was about being role models for others. Check out what they said.

Venus And Serena Williams On Being Role Models

Naomi Campbell was talking about how she has seen Serena and Venus throughout their tennis career holding themselves with integrity and elegance. To this Venus replied, ”

“Yeah, that’s true. Everybody is born who they are but they can choose who they want to be. Serena and I, we have always tried to be role models for others and I guess that’s how it turned out.”

Many people will want to ask Venus – you guess? This is because they both have had such a major influence on tennis. Almost every single female tennis player looks up to both of them because they have achieved so much in tennis.

Together, Venus and Serena Williams have amassed 48 grand slams – 30 in singles, 14 women’s doubles, and 4 mixed doubles. They started their career in the 1990s and are still playing on the WTA tour. So, I think with all these achievements they reached their goal of being role models.

They are still playing professional tennis because they both want to win one last grand slam. Venus wants to win it to close her career in the perfect way while Serena wants to win it to cement her position as the GOAT of women’s tennis by equaling Margaret Court’s record of 24 grand slams.

They have to wait however because the WTA tour has been suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic. It is scheduled to return in July assuming the virus is contained by then. When the tour returns, Venus and Serena Williams will have the chance to win some grand slams and most likely they will win it.
