Since making her professional debut in 1995, Serena Williams has been a dominant figure on the WTA tour. Hall of Famer coach Rick Macci coached Serena early in her career, alongside Venus. Nevertheless, both the sisters had to face a lot of difficulties in the early stages of their career. 

Notably, Serena did not look like a conventional women’s tennis player, as she had a ripped physique. Some fans praised her and some questioned her because of the way she was dominating the sport. In a recent post, Macci shared the details about people questioning Serena’s physique. 

Rick Macci talks about Serena Williams’ incredible genetic structure 

Earlier on Twitter, Macci revealed that many people used to ask him about Serena’s incredible physique. “When @serenawilliams started winning at a young age everybody asked me if she took steroids because she looked ripped. I would shake my head smile and say she is ripped because of the genetic jackpot. Speed quickness agility eyes and hands. Under the hood a COMPTON STREET FIGHT!” Macci wrote on Twitter.

It is worth noting that both Serena and Venus had incredible physiques, as they dominated on the tennis court for more than 20 years. Early in their careers, their father, Richard Williams, and mother, Oracene Price, played a crucial role in their development. In the years following the appointment of Macci as their professional coach, they improved their tennis skills even further.
