Nicholas Bollettieri, an American tennis coach, has worked with some skilled players including Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, and Monica Seles. The pioneer who once coached the Williams’ sisters believes it was mental stability which maintained their dominance.

Serena Williams and Venus Williams are two of the greatest tennis players of all time, and it’s no coincidence. Both have extraordinary abilities and have worked extremely hard from a young age to achieve such superiority, but there’s more to the story. It’s hard to envisage any siblings surpassing the Williams sisters.
