In reply, Rennae attributed Serena’s success at the Olympics to her love for representing her country and hunger to win at all costs. In addition, the Australian talked about the formidable partnership of the Williams sisters, who together won three Olympics gold medals in doubles.
“She loves winning. She loved representing the United States…I think it’s wanting to win and passion. I think they [Serena and Venus] loved playing and loved competing and they loved putting that medal around their neck, particularly together,” said Rennae.
In fact, Venus has won five Olympic medals – three gold medals in doubles alongside Serena, a gold medal in singles at the 2004 Athens Olympics, and a silver medal in mixed doubles at the 2016 Rio Games.
