Richard’s support of his daughters when they turned pro
Both the sisters turned pro quite early. Coaching his daughters before that was only a minor step. Richard’s real battle came when he had to prepare Serena and Venus, both mentally and physically. The sisters spoke about this many times, crediting their dad for everything.
Richard acted as an anchor, ensuring the sisters performed better than their last match. If not for Richard, the journey of being the stars they are today would have been even more challenging for Serena and Venus.
It looks like Macci is a long way from dropping his tweets without mentioning Richard or the sisters. However, fans are always enticed by how he brings out those tiny stories. Trivias are always interesting, especially when the source is Rick Macci.
