Ever since turning pros, Venus Williams and Serena Williams have made sure to crush their opponents on the court. Looking at the stats, one can assess that the sisters have dominated over almost all their opponents. Even in their 40s, the two seem to not stop the domination.

While the entire tennis world remains impressed by the records of the two, not many know the reason behind it. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case with their childhood coach, Rick Macci. Recently, the star coach opened up about how their father instilled the rage to win in his two daughters.

The reason behind the winning rage of Venus and Serena Williams

Tennis fans who follow Venus and Serena Williams are aware of their initial days. Born in Compton, it was their father, Richard Williams, who placed tennis racquets in their hands at a very young age. To help her husband, it was Richard’s wife, Oracene Price, who also learned tennis by herself.

Macci recently took to his Twitter handle, where he spoke about the winning rage of Venus and Serena Williams. Dissecting further, he credited Richard Williams and Oracene Price.

“What I saw with Serena Williams and Venus Williams at age 9 and 10 was a rage inside a little kids body that was scarey. The burning desire to get to the ball was personal. Baked in extra crispy from birth. GAME SET MATCH RICHARD AND ORECENE WILLIAMS,” he wrote.

The current relationship of Macci with the Williams family

Macci trained the Williams sisters during their childhood days. Today, with bags full of grand slams, Masters titles and Olympic gold medals, the sisters aren’t working with Rick. However, the bond between Macci and the Williams family remains intact. Rick Macci was last spotted with the Williams family at the screening of King Richard.
